Duffy

[DGearyFTE]

I think the judge really dropped the ball. His decision was based on the assertion that "poor judgement is not a crime". How is that different from a teen's poor judgement when he steals a car for a joyride? I guess that's not a crime either.

Fair to say that despite the ruling by the judge, most would agree that wrong was done. I have to agree with you Werner, poor judgement as an excuse is no more valid than ignorance of the law. Something is wrong here.

From my limited reading of the decision, he also linked the poor judgement to the poorly written rules of the Senate.

We (the Canadian taxpayer) are going to be presented with Duffy's legal bill and it will be substantial. This whole, sordid affair is far from over.

And let's not forget he will probably sue the government for defamation ... who wins here?

The cynical answer is "the lawyers".
