What on earth is the federal government under our illustrious leader, Stephen Harper, going to do when the Supreme Court of Canada denies his appeal to prevent Omar Khadr from being brought back to Canada?

A Federal Court ordered the government to have Khadr repatriated. Harper and company appealed that and lost. Now, they are appealing that loss to the Supreme Court.

I don't even know if Khadr should be brought back. I know very little about his constitutional rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What I do know, however, is that two Courts have examined the matter and decided that the government is contravening Mr. Khadr's rights insomuch as he is a Canadian citizen.

Whether I or anyone else thinks that Omar Khadr is a terrorist or a "child soldier" is beside the point. Our Courts have seriously considered the evidence and made two rulings that the government doesn't like. Instead of sucking it up and doing what its own judicial institutions say it should, Harper and pals are sulking and refusing to play by the rules. So, in the meantime, they will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars continuing the fight. I sincerely hope that when the Supreme Court judgment is handed down, Harper will have the good grace to stop acting like a spoiled brat and do what any decent man would do - admit that you've lost and make all speed to do what's necessary. What are the chances?
