Reply #24: Remember, everyone, judges are bad!

[No Exit]

Right here on this forum, I see some posts in which people are complaining about judges.

I think a lot of people can point to some judgment they've encountered which they really, really, didn't like. Perhaps it was a judgment in their divorce case, or their custody case.

But overall, judges and the judicial system are a good thing BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT YET SEIZED TOTAL CONTROL OF THEM.

My opinion: we shouldn't join in carping about "stupid judges" because when we do, we're joining in one of the repukes' phony "causes". They have for years been spreading this lie that the court system needs to be shut down or re-made or whatever. What they really want is to fix the entire court system so that the judges will rule only in favor of the rich and the powerful.

So IMO it's fine to critique individual judges, but we should not condemn the entire judicial system, because that is playing into the repukes' hands.

I know this post is off-topic to some extent, but just look at what this particular appeals court has done. And I don't think the appeals court did it simply because they "don't like" Bugman. It is a perfectly fair decision. We should be glad there is still a small part of the legal system that does not belong entirely to the repukes and their corporate masters. And this decision is proof of that.
