In reply to the discussion: I gotta wonder if Garland is hoping tRump will pass away or be diagnosed with dementia. [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)But evidence of what? Certainly not evidence of a rigged justice system or a complicit Attorney General! My excuses are no excuses at all - they are evidence of gross inaccuracies I found in a post. They excuse nothing, and they constitute proof of those inaccuracies and nothing else.
I am not denying that the rich and the powerful are getting away with a lot of shit. What I am denying is that it is a consequence of a rigged justice system. No, it is a consequence of a rigged economic system, and it is critical to always keep this distinction in mind. Wealth and power buys superior competence in legal matters, no more no less. While this may look like a difference without distinction to you, confusing the sources for inequity always leads to failure to address inequity. If you were to reform the legal system to your liking without reforming the economic system, nothing will change. You would still be laying blame where it doesn't belong and ignore the source of the problem.
My demands have nothing to do with fealty to Garland or unconditional reverence of his person. In fact, I demand just the opposite: a rational and reasoned examination of his record, which just happens to be, by all objective standards, exceptional. And I demand that any disagreement with my assessment, which I have no interest in suppressing under any circumstances, is backed by reason and fact. Is this too much to demand?
