There is one other point I wanted to make. Senator McDowell raises the issue of the Government being in a position to select judges. The Government might think somebody was too conservative, not conservative enough, too liberal, not liberal enough and all the rest of it. I hardly think the Government is likely to advertise the fact. I am not sure if Senator McDowell is suggesting that the Government would wish to advertise this fact and let the public know. I imagine this would be a matter of Cabinet confidentiality.
