Point of order on Supreme Court

Summary

Senator Norris seeks guidance on whether Members may question the Supreme Court’s judgment; the Chair declines to rule immediately and calls the next speaker.

David P.B. Norris Senator David Norris Independent

On a point of order, I seek guidance. With due deference to my colleague, Senator Mooney, is it appropriate or in order for a Member to question the judgment of the Supreme Court? I would have thought the separation of powers intervened in that regard.
