(13,283 posts)you have failed to define, what would you call it?
...Oh wait, you're absolutely right! It is not your anxiety that drives justice. That's not possible, since you never defined what you mean by justice. Truly, your anxiety is all about doubts over whether or not something you have yet to define will be carried out. Got it. That is so inconsistent with anxiety being projected onto the blank canvas of your notion of justice! Weird indeed.
I cautioned you that it it will take volumes of available overwhelming evidence to truly appreciate the merits of our justice system. I gave you just a small sample to consider. A single link to the history of SCOTUS decisions. You flatly refused to consider even this small sample. It is beyond me how a single source can possible turn into a gish gallop, but your intolerance for acknowledging evidence you yourself asked for does not create in me an obligation to abridge SCOTUS history for your convenience. It is what it is. Whether you look into my link to educate yourself, or whether you frantically gish gallop through it overwhelming yourself with perfectly well structured content (a task which appears to be exceedingly easy to accomplish), or whether you pick a tiny sample from it and fluff it up out of all proportion, or whether you dismiss it entirely on the grounds of it being exceedingly long, is up to you. It is your credibility, dispense with it as you wish. The list of SCOTUS decisions will remain unmoved in indisputable evidence, and as the end result of, fair and equal justice being applied under the law throughout our justice system. And if you ever bother to examine it, it might appear pretty peachy to you too. But obviously, I digress into musing about the impossible.
I can't help but laugh at your proposition that DOJ is a much looser, much less regulated part of our justice system. If you think that the history of SCOTUS decisions is taxing on your patience, try to spend a few months on going through all the rules that govern DOJ, not that I expect you to do anything of the sort. And that's just for starters. In addition to that, DOJ must go through that pesky court system to get any results at all. Not IN PLACE of the court system, but IN ADDITION to their other rules. It is the court system that seats grand juries, conducts trials, reaches verdicts and dispenses punishments. It doesn't occur to you that our justice system, both as an executive and a judiciary function, is designed to prevent unfair and unequal dispensation of justice. Must I really go into how this leads to a fair and equal justice? Really?
The problem with your position is that you don't suggest anything other than DOJ is the source of your anxiety. And to remain constantly anxious, you must imagine flaws in DOJ. The flaws you imagine are inevitably hypothetical, while your anxiety appears to be real. That's a glitch in the normal interplay between cause and effect. To continue on this path, which appears to be the end goal of your game, you must reject all evidence that points to your anxieties not being grounded in fact, and insist that your hypotheticals, not the facts, control the narrative.
If you continue to insist that the moon is made of cheese because it looks like it's made of cheese, who am I to keep intruding on your reality? I tried, but it appears that the moon still looks like cheese to you.
Pleasant dreams!
