The Nationalist Party is blameless, of course – resting on their laurels when they had plenty of time to reform the appointment of judges, if it suited them. But it didn’t.

This lot is less scrupulous.

Above all, a judge needs to be incorruptible.

Muscat has already tried to do that by nominating him for the European Court of Justice, but the Chief Justice messed that all up.

The basic quality of a judge in a criminal court is that he is not criminally tainted himself.

The Chief Justice should not shut up. He should condemn the appointment himself.
