THE COURTS ARE FAR BETTER THAN YOU THINK.
Well, you know, ***courts are not free of deceit, wishful thinking, stupidity, bias, and error for the simple reason that they are populated by people.*** That is the virtue of the jury and judge system. Twelve jurors reduces the probability of rendering idiocy dramatically.
I have nothing but burning hatred for the federal government, and I think that the rule of law has been destroyed by the democratic legislature, the tyrannical presidency, judicial activism, judicial and review.
But I have a little more faith in my fellow americans, that if provided with the tools of acquittal, nullification, and conviction, and the the simplicity of Natural Law, that they will render a great judgement under all but the most extreme circumstances. And should judges be allowed if not required to specialize even extreme circumstances would improve. And if judges could be chosen rather than assigned then that would improve further. This would create a market for judges. Appeals would manage the problem of whether rule of law was violated or not.
I find that many laws the judges are asked to enforce – credit law, family law, regulatory fines and costs, and other bits of nonsense – are objectively immoral. But if judges were given strict construction, and natural law, and nothing could override this but contract, then I think that all would be fine.
Judges and the law are not so much the problem as the ability of the state to legislate and regulate as an insurer of last resort over the objections of the people who are regulated.
