Three judges appointed to Supreme Court bench

Re: Anon at 3.18 - Arden's real problem is that she is married to Lord Mance; the UKSC would look even more like a cosy club. The diversity thing is overblown - we need to be looking at why, for example, there should be a NI judge - the selection pool there is tiny and, once you are a NI Appeal Court judge, you effectively have a 1 in 3 chance of making it to the UKSC. When was there last a NI appeal of substance, requiring specific expertise of NI law? Hale has already starting trailing nonsense about a Welsh judge.
