They were suffering under the common place illusion that Judges are objective and reasonable. It was an honest mistake on their part. It has long been a widespread fallacy.
“Might makes right” is not your finest attempt at using a cliche’. There is not much “might” in the deliberative process of American civil jurisprudence.
Au contraire. There is not much "deliberative process" in the might of American civil jurisprudence.
To paraphrase Popeye the Sailor man, you pays your fees, you files your briefs and you takes your chances.
If you are suggesting that going to a modern court is a lot like flipping a coin, then you may have a point. It often appears that their "deliberative process" is little more than this, with the added aspect that the coin often has two heads while the Judges have none.
But hey, I understand your frustration. When you’re on the losing side of an issue 311 times in a row, it’s hard not to take that personally.
The losing side is truth; The discernment of which you seemingly lack the ability to perceive. I don't find it remarkable at all that the Judiciary is the enemy of truth. They have a long record of it.
But it is not surprising that you champion falsity. I must again point out that you DISHONESTLY count refusals to hear cases as loses when the merits were never addressed. (They aren't addressed even when they are heard.) Those refusals to hear cases is another manifestation of that "Might makes right" aspect of the court system, but I suspect you regard that as a feature and not a bug.
The Courts really are a residue of the Monarchical system.
A court system based on Republican principles would operate much more in line with the principles of a Free Republic.
