	"Jewish Woman Named to Canadian High Court - Forward.com"
		She is married to prominent Jewish historian Irving Abella, a former president of the Canadian Jewish Congress.
		Abella was passed over for the high court in 1998, when her supporters and those of John Laskin — the son of Canada’s first Jewish Chief Justice, the late Bora Laskin — engaged in bitter and unseemly lobbying for the appointment.
		Abella is a self-described “Charter fan,” and has publicly slammed opponents of judicial activism, describing them as the “new inhibitors” for trying to prevent the court from expanding minority rights in Canada.

		Abella, for those just joining us, is the author of the 1984 report of the Royal Commission on Equality in Employment, which laid the foundation for legislation imposing racial and sexual hiring quotas on employers under federal jurisdiction and, later, Ontario's aborted attempt to apply this across the entire private sector.

		QUEBEC — Allegations that Justice Minister Irwin Cotler attempted to “infiltrate” the highest court in the land by having Madam Justice Rosalie Abella appointed to the Supreme Court “is absurd, even shocking” and “borders on contempt of court,” according to a brief the Justice Department filed yesterday in the Supreme Court of Canada.

		Cotler, the Canadian Jewish Congress and Judge Abella’s husband, Irving Abella, have a common interest in preventing his client from obtaining an unbiased and impartial hearing.
