One of the main points of “Ghosts of the JCPC” is that the studyof Charter politics is currently dominated by a sterile and well-worndebate over the legitimacy of judicial review. Rainer Knopff and F. L.Morton return to these issues in their reply. They frequently refer totheir own position or to my putative positions in their reply to mywork.
