For my American friends, it is possible to have a non-political supreme court. We do. I have literally no idea who is on it. And, what's more important, I don't care. They uphold the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and whack down laws that infringe unjustly. But get this...they aren't insane.

We created an independent and non-partisan Advisory Board to manage the process and recommend “qualified, functionally bilingual candidates who reflect a diversity of backgrounds and experiences for appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada.”
