The idea that justice can be codified and thus provide absolute justice, impatrially and fairly, was first written about by Aristotle, who claimed that such absolute justice was the goal of good government.

The core premise was that laws should be written to fairly and impartially cover all situations. This is what seems to be the basis of the pgrase "absolute justice" in the context of this thread and your post.

However, it was noted by that same Greek, that alas the city had grown to such a size (some 40,000+ people) as to make that impossible. He therefore said that judges and human judgement, would have to be relied upon.

To assume that the state can be codified to anything approaching perfection or even all situations is to start down the same slippery slope trod by the totalitarian states throughout history.

That is why we have juries, Grand Juries, and legislatures - not just courts.

"That is why we have juries, Grand Juries, and legislatures - not just courts"

Went to jury, Grand jury, and Supreme court failed to hear the case. It went thru its process. If the legislature was so concerned why is it that they spent 10 years doing nothing with the law that was on the books?

Great writing tho my friend, I respect your position on the matter just not agreeable. I respect all people's position on this matter.
