Ah,my friend, your comment reminds me of an antidote re: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., one of the great CJ of the SCOTUS.
A fellow SC judge had come to call. When pleasant visit was over the judge, as a parting farewell said, "Don't forget to do justice."
Holmes immediately bolted down his front steps and caught up with the man's carriage as it was slowly pulling away.The carriage stopped.
"No,sir!!" cried Holmes,confronting the startled man. "No,sir! It is not our duty to do justice. It is our duty to up hold the law!"
That is why our courts are referred to as "Courts of Law", not "Courts of Justice". And that, IMHO, is how we have ended up as we are today. Judges have chosen to decree/enforce/decide on the side of "Justice" -- justice as they perceive it, e.g. "civil rights","homosexual rights", et. al.
As to the courts being Courts of Law. Well, apparently "The Law be damned. Let 'Justice' triumph, even though the Heavens should tumble."
Isnt that the truth...as "Social Justice" has been the raison d'etre of the US education system for the last 50 yrs...not surprsing the courts decided it is theirs as well....
As former Milwaukee cop...co-opted into theft and then not squealing on his thieving cop buddies...Mr. Reeger would say..."Spell the Straw in Raspberry"...
