(6,891 posts)and have had many dealings with the judiciary, and it is corrupt. Evidence? What would be your standard for evidence? Do you suppose if 6 street people beat a cop to death on film that any of them would be acquitted? Do you think they would be represented by a jury of their peers? What the hell exactly is "a jury of ones peers?" Regardless, you did not address the question. Is the purpose of the judiciary to ensure precedent and process or to administer justice, regardless of whether by judges or juries? The correct answer is that process approximates justice, and that is the best that can be done. Process is concrete, justice is abstract, but if I know it when I see it, so should a judge or 12 jurors. Obviously, they didn't in this case, anymore than in the OJ Simpson case or other cases to numerous to mention. Furthermore, I never conflated Naziism with our judiciary, please don't accuse me of it.
