Why do you believe that Duffy, Wallin, and Brazeau would likely not be found liable? Especially if they are "guilty as hell"?

As Slava already noted, I think that people are very upset.

With respect to your second point, once again, these are not typical employee-employer relationships. For example, as an employee, my employer may dismiss me at any time, without any good reason. Do you think it would be healthy for Canadian democracy it the Prime Minister could dismiss a Senator at any time, without any good reason?
