A buddy of mine once made a comment about a specific case with “how much justice can we buy”.
I was thinking that this was a pretty shrewd summation of our legal system here in the States. Yes, the underpinnings are historically noble and good but have slipped into the abyss of ridiculous over arduous, costly, processes.
So I’m in the mood for reality and can’t seem to find any.
Justice is a concept, probably based on our favorite culture and values as a whole. Really doesn’t have anything to do with law in the USA anymore. Justice is rare and precious here.
Ask any American Indian about justice and they will likely know the truth.
Ask any white boy with cash about justice and he will likely know that its a question of money.
99 out of 100 questions have one answer.
Money.
Its money, man, money.
