Review of CBC - Sunday Edition: Justocracy
I prefer intellectually engaging topics and "Justocracy" fits the bill. The program begins by illustrating the kinds of tensions which can exist between legislatures and courts -- what happens, for example, when fundamental moral and political questions are transferred from the political sphere to the judicial sphere? In terms of democracy, the panelists analyze the linkage between popular will and judicial decisions, and from whence courts derive their legitimacy. The panelists also posit opinions with respect to politics and the judiciary. The program concludes with a look at whether or not judicial reform is needed, and, if so, under what conditions.
The program is serious, sober (nothing sensationalized), but reflective and thought provoking. This would be an ideal program for a mature, educated audience.
