This is the sort of topic you have to be careful about, lest it become soapbox worthy.

Like others in this thread, I don't really care what other people get up to. I care a bit about what they get up to in public, but I think I'm even handed there too.

But the story (as linked) is that there was a Law X.

A *court* decided that the law was Wrong, and said it was invalid.

A higher court said the lower court was wrong to rule on this, and that the lawmakers (ie, polticians) should fix things, not judges.

It sounds quite reasonable to me. The supreme court did not say the law was good, or bad, simply that it was politicians job to fix it, not judges.

Now, you can argue that the laws existence is bad, and it should be repealed, but that's a different point to the one in the linked story.

Iain.
I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!
