@finseraste @coleenlisa @nationalpost One might be forgiven for thinking that you meant the specific jurisprudential device. if that is your concern, that is an objection to standing law in constitutional crim cases settled since at least Big M. In that sense, certainly not a quibble.(Not to mention not novel) 2/2

@finseraste @coleenlisa @nationalpost The purpose of a RH is precisely to aid in measuring the excessiveness of a punishment that is NOT impermissible “in its nature”. This doesn’t engage your concern about RHs (though I would quarrel with your view). I just want to see how his case is an instance of that concern 2/2

@finseraste @coleenlisa @nationalpost Curious about your interpretation, Stéphane. Perhaps walk me through how you read para 73? It seems to me to assert that this form of sentence is unconstitutional vis-à-vis any offender who is subject to it, independent of any hypothetical. Therefore “degrading in nature.” 1/2
