    Lady justice used to be blind, it's on her statue and everything. I think most of us can agree that is no longer the case and hasn't been for many years. This is the execution arm of the government, and it has been turned fully against the citizens, but the ruling class still gets a pass. What are you ready to do about it? 3MM

    Whether elected or appointed, we need term limits on judges and prosecutors.

    Could not agree with you more sir, but those who would put that into place have zero interest of putting that into place so we get we have!

    There needs to be better oversight over judges and prosecutors.

    What a lot of people do not realize is, the way the system works, a judge is not truly in practice responsible for the decisions they sign off on. They don't shift through all the details, and basically routinely take the prosecutor at their word when they sign off on a warrant. The judge ends up functioning as more of a rubber stamp on a conveyor belt.

    That of course makes it hard to hold them responsible for any bad decision, since they aren't really responsible, and it's usually nearly impossible to prove they should have known better.

    From Louis Brandeis, We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.
