text: Joe Dick, few lawyers live their professional life with the possibility of being made a judge in mind.
  
  But I hope this means you disapprove of Stephen Harper's last appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada - a man who:
  
   *accused the Canadian Bar Association of being a left-wing, anti-Conservative group, 
  
   * suggested the Chief Justice is also left-wing, anti-Conservative, 
  
   * was on record as hoping Harper actually did have a hidden right-wing agenda,  
  
   * wrote his opinion that the death penalty is not only acceptable, but might even be suitable for offences other than murder, 
  
   * sat on the advisory board of an legal organization created by a former Reform and Wildrose Party candidate to defend causes like Trinity Western University, right up to being made an Alberta judge in 2013 (according to one source, he was still on the Advisory Board until appointed to the SCC).
