It's a system, ok?

We have a system in this country that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.  This is ok I suppose, but we should call it something other than a Judicial System.  "Judicial System" is a phrase that sounds like what you would say if you were drunk, or shall we say it can be understood when said by both sober and inebriated folks - "Ghudishalsistum".  for instance:  "Yesh I suppose Iwuz guilty but I have a good lawyer and thank goodness for our ghudishalsistum fer petessake."

 "...the quality of being fair and reasonable..."

It's not really a system that metes justice so much as it is a system that metes legality, or what ever can be used by legal professionals to bend whatever truth there may be in a situation to their advantage.  Depends on how good you are as a lawyer and what kind of people you pick as those who may listen to your arguments and vote for or against.

So, like, if you happen to live in say, Florida, you can kill a black guy and get acquitted.  Easy cheesy.  It all depends on the skill of the law professionals and how that is applied to the thought processes of a jury from say, Florida.

  "....rather than in equity..."

Or anything, really.  I don't think those who practice trial law care one whit about truth.  It IS,however important that your side wins.  There's the skill.  There's the game.  There's the justice legal system.


It's always something...
