Why didn't he do it when he was still a justice?
- defrost 2y agoAre you thinking perhaps of a politician arguing for a policy change and bringing that about through party support, or a human rights lawyer bring a landmark case before a justice and then a Supreme Court? As a general rule Supreme Court Justices only decide upon cases bought before them on the balance of the legal arguments made for or against them.
