Just remember to always call it the “Court system” and not the “Justice system.”

I had a lawyer recently tell me that he refuses to use the phrase “Justice center” when referring to a local courthouse, even though that’s the actual name of the place. True justice is blind, but courthouses and the employees thereof always have their eyes open to the ever-changing dynamics of things. Bribes and quid pro quo are regular occurrences. I’m afraid Judge Carter may have fallen victim to the endemic corruption in the system or may be getting pressured into a situation by hands operating behind the scenes.

The one thing we know for sure is that justice won’t prevail unless and until Obama releases proof of whether or not he’s a NBC.

My faith in our judicial system is at an all-time low these days. My faith in Congress and the executive branch doesn’t even exist any more.

I don’t know about the bribes, but I am convinced that getting a fair and impartial hearing is only for those that can afford it. Attornies are people and subject to the same pride and corrupt nature as all. I get the feeling that amoung lawyers that their “batting average” is what counts more than anything else. By this I mean a prosecutor will go after the small time felon that has poor representation and is a “slam dunk” while they will fail to prosecute a more serious felon because the case is harder to prove and the felon can afford good representation. Thus, our prisons are full of petty felons when the really serious criminals run free. The prosecutors don’t want to take a case unless it will be a sure victory...thus the analogy of “batting average.” The better defense attornies are just as bad. Also, private attornies avoid taking civil cases with a low probability of success...because of batting averages. That is why you don’t see more competent attornies than Dr. Taitz taking on this NB case. They are more concerned about reputation and batting average.

Hence lawyers are just a flawed as the rest of us. Also, they tend to become jaded quickly; which I guess is to be expected.
