In reply to the discussion: For anyone who still believes our justice system will save democracy [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)There is no question about whether or not this is evident. It is. There is no question whatsoever whether or not it fails to protect our democracy. It is not supposed to. Period. No ifs. Your disappointment, therefore, not only should not be expected, it is completely out of place.
Beyond this, you have yet to articulate the reason(s) why you think the justice system is doing a consistently piss poor job in enforcing the rules that make saving democracy possible. Can you cite a single known rule that the justice system violated, and how this violation relates to your summary judgement of the system? Holding the justice system accountable for following established rules is the opposite of being platonic. Rules is the objective and practical measure of whether or not the system is effective.
The OP is not just decrying the difference in the response of our legal system. The OP is decrying the difference of response in two vastly different and incompatible instances that have been cited by the OP, while spelling out the expected identical response to both. How could you not automatically interpret the post in the way it is intended to be interpreted? This is ridiculous.
