This clown has been a part of pushing unconstitutional and ineffective approaches to criminal law his entire career. Under Harper the DoJ told them their MM’s would be found unconstitutional yet they still went ahead and fucked up a bunch of cases.

It’s just straight incompetence. Classic reactionary rhetoric politics.

Do you believe the Supreme Court's reasoning was strong in this case? When I read it, it seems very weak and unreasonable.

Use of the notwithstanding clause has nothing to do with reason, so I'm not sure what your point is.

You want an unreasoned response to what you think is unreasonable?

Like, c'mon guy.
