[Cons] Article III, Section 0 - Not Justice

Before I start with Sections, I want to explain why I'm doing Article III before Article II.  Article II is about the executive, but the majority of the abuses by the executive, except some of the more recent and blatant abuses of power, Are taking place because of the very nature of our laws.  Look, remember that civilization is an illusion, and such one of the most important things that Government can do is maintain that illusion through the belief that there is Justice in the courts.

Yet no one really believes that, especially about the justice department of the American government.  The lists of abuses are endless, but I'll cite some of them here.

• Dozens, perhaps hundreds of innocent men killed by bloodthirsty out of control prosecutors.
• Failure to prosecute Wall Street Bankers who stole trillions from America because they are 'Too Big to Jail.'
• The National Director of Intelligence LIED to congress, committed Perjury and has yet to be prosecuted despite claims that they are 'looking into it.'
• George W. Bush, war criminal and advocate for torture, has not been held to account by the Holder Justice department.
• Federal raids on peaceful medical marijuana dispensaries in direct contravention to the 10th amendment to the constitution AND their own given word.
• Recurring prosecution of whistle blowers trying to expose the festering rotten corruption in the US government whilst allowing other evils to flourish.  Attacking our own immune system of truth.
• A Supreme Court that has said that Imminent Domain can be used for the rich, that Corporations are people, that money is speech (and thus the rich are entitled to more rights than the rest of us), and so many, many, many abusive decisions in favor of insane police privilege. 
• Failure to prosecute the police who destroyed peaceful Occupy Protesters in a massive federally coordinated attack.  In fact, one of them was even given a fat check for 'trauma' he suffered from complaints filed against him.
• Minorities are singled out by law enforcement, not given proper representation, and executed at far higher rates.
• You have to be rich or go into debt or find a lawyer that likes you to take on the rich and powerful in the courts of justice.
• Your public defender is under paid, over worked and is likely working to make you plea for a bargain even if you did nothing wrong.
• Your prosecutor is looking out for their own career prospects in most cases, rather than than whether or not you are guilty if you happen to be the one the police pin it on.
• For profit private prisons rake in the money, in some cases bribing judges to set up little factories to send them prisoners. In other cases pressuring law makers to make tough crime penalties to get more prisoners for rural counties to increase their political clout.

The list goes on and on and on and on.  But one of the root causes of the problems, aside from lying sociopathic conservatives and libertarians, is the moderates who buy into the 'abusive government regulation' schtick the sociopaths spin, BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.  And why is our government filled with abusive regulations?

In large part because it must.  Our justice system uses English Common Law, which states that a prior judgement takes priority until a judge changes it in a new case.  The idea of a jury of one's peers is at the heart of American justice.

But lawyers get to lie to juries with half truths.  Judges lie to juries.  Juries are just little pairs of eyes, carefully selected for their stupidity.

In the adversarial system, the Prosecutor is supposed to represent Justice (ie US), the defending lawyer their client and the judge (US) or at most Justice.

Does anyone REALLY REALLY believe that these people represent us?  The thing is, when you meet a conservative face to face, they seem like nice people.  It is easy to forget that they believe things that will kill all life on earth, and that may very likely threaten the freedom of your children.  Abstractly, perhaps, you may be aware that conservatives are liars, but when you see someone's face, are you likely to call them a liar?

Hell, I'll admit I'm not.  I might believe my friends are liars when they are speaking AS a conservative, but I don't want to call them liars.  No one does.

So of course a prospective Jury, sitting in a box, being asked questions by a defense attorney or a prosecutor doesn't want to think that the entire thing is a farce, that the judge may be insane or abusive and totally unaccountable for their actions, that the prosecutor may have been hiding evidence from everyone and will NEVER be held accountable for it, and that the defense is trying every trick in the book to help their client, but that may involve taking a shady crooked deal for less time even though they are TOTALLY INNOCENT?!

The regulatory weight of our schools, our governments and our regulatory agencies are in large part based upon this system that carries greater and greater weight as the centuries pass, property law from the time when people thought people could be property echoes down upon us like a ton of bricks.  Laws passed by useless legislatures and regulations must withstand the connivance of corporate lawyers seeking to game the system to make a quick buck.

It cannot continue like this.

And before we speak of enforcing laws, we must discuss fixing the system that tries them.
