So, this past week, Federal Court justice Mosley issued a ruling on a group of cases attacking the Federal Government's use of the Emergencies Act as somehow illegal/unconstitutional/whatever.
Let me start off by saying that I've read a good number of rulings from Canadian judges, and usually they're pretty readable. This is not one of them. In fact it is shockingly unclear in so many respects. In other words, to be utterly charitable, it feels like the judge had a horribly unclear picture of the evidence before him and that is reflected in the utterly muddled outcome.
Let's start with the end where we get a clear statement from the justice as to how muddled his thinking really is.
