While I didn’t watch the full hearing, it seems to me that the Rothstein hearing was much ado about nothing. I don’t think that Canadians now have a better sense of Justice Rothstein. To do that, they need to read his judgments and speeches, which are far more revealing than anything he said today (and, btw, how is that Justice Rothstein can speak candidly about past cases such as the Harvard Mouse decision when he visits Oxford but refuses to say anything before a parliamentary committee?).
