Justice is Blind

In the US, Justice is Blind, Deaf, Dumb and Corrupt. The king has no clothes. Laws are designed to not work and the courts are designed to be hapless. The courts are choked and the lawyers like the job security of it, but are reticent to fix it. They are just hoping we don’t notice.

For centuries, the court system offered a peaceful way to resolve disputes, but the cost and inefficiency of the court system has become unsustainable. When there were fewer laws, fewer criminals, fewer arrests and fewer trials, the system worked ok. Citizens were told that there would be a “jury of your peers” who would decide your guilt or innocents and that should ensure a “fair trial” and that’s about all we could do. But the law has been weaponized with high legal costs, so unscrupulous Plaintiffs could charge anyone with a crime or file a lawsuit against them. This has resulted in bankruptcy for those who were targeted and jail time for those who were convicted but were innocent. We read cases reported in the newspaper that cite that DNA testing has proven the innocence of those who were convicted and jailed. These are common with cases of false identity.

In civil trials, lawsuits are allowed to go forward when most of them are frivolous and should be stopped by a Judge. They would prefer to subject the defendant to the financial abuse of making them “settle” with the frivolous Plaintiff. 

Malpractice lawsuits are a scam built on the myth that lawyers should control medical protocols. Medicine is a “trial and error” exercise and all patients are different. County Medical Associations are perfectly capable of suspending licenses, requiring training and pulling licenses. Patients are responsible for their own health and need to choose their treatment methods to ensure that they are getting treatment that produces the best outcomes. In most cases, nutrition is a better choice than drugs.
