This is exactly how Harper started

CP:

Paul Martin, facing a desperate three-day fight for his political life, is warning that a Conservative government would bring the most extreme right-wing agenda in the history of Canada. The prime minister launched his most blistering attack yet on Stephen Harper, suggesting Thursday that the Tory leader would stack the courts with socially conservative judges to overturn Charter rights such as gay marriage and access to abortion. "This is not an ordinary election," Martin said in Toronto."Never have we seen a significant political party with such a conservative agenda as this one - an agenda that's really drawn from the extreme right in the United States."

Mr. Martin said it's telling that Harper sees judges as his political opponents. "Why are the courts his opponents? Because they want to defend the Charter of Rights," Mr. Martin said. "Because they stand between him and absolute power."
