Where Article Three requires or prohibits a particular course of action, does this still apply if an alternative course of action is created? For example, would 3.2 (The right to a fair trial and defense against criminal accusations will not be abridged.) still apply if a law was written creating a process other than a trial? The previous questions you asked were about my judicial philosophy, rather than specific questions of law. Your question is obviously about the now-repealed Security Powers Act, which you argued was unconstitutional for not requiring court-based criminal trials. If I remember correctly, you were prepared to go to court over the question. So, there's a real possibility of that question appearing in front of the court, while I'm on the bench, if the Assembly ever passes a similar law. This isn't a legislative debate, but a confirmation hearing for my appointment as justice. I feel that your question is trying to get me to pre-judge a specific future case, rather than asking about more broad ideas on constitutional interpretation, the separation of powers, etc.
Do you like legal interpretation and judicial business? If so, why? If not, why not, and would you still be an adequate Justice?

I think my frequent participation in court cases here shows that I enjoy both! You and I likely have different ideas of what “judicial business” means, but I do enjoy debating cases and writing opinions. Though my opinions would probably be less long than yours Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
To address the second question, why do you enjoy those?
