When Roy Romanow was premier of Saskatchewan, he had a saying that can be paraphrased: when observers or commentators offer political statements or opinions, they are in my bailiwick and I shall be free to respond as I see fit.
Romanow’s dictum came to mind in reading Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner’s warning against “attacks” on the judicial system and portraying judges as “political actors” or “obstacles to the will of the people.”
