(11,828 posts)The point is not whether there's justice in the judicial system, but rather, what are the real causes of there not being justice in it?
I happen to believe that structural problems have developed with the other branches, and that those are in turn causing the problems with the judicial system. I.e., we need politicians, elected representatives and executives, who are not bought; once that happens, I think much or most of the injustice showing up in the judicial system would be alleviated.
Think about it: the worst things happening in the judicial system come from the facts that prosecutors and cops are corrupt/militarized, judges are selected by politicians beholden to the 1%, and the laws that judges must apply also serve the 1%.
None of those problems would be solved by term limits on judges all that would accomplish is to push our corrupt politicians to make their bad appointments a bit more often.
