In a free country, justice SHOULD NOT BE a matter of luck.

Leftist control freak bureaucrats LOVE vagueness in the law - it’s where they can derive POWER from arbitrary application of the law.

I stand by my original statement.

The extent to which justice seems increasingly to be a matter of luck illustrates the extent to which these United States no longer form a free country.

Your comment on leftist bureaucrats is spot on. Control freak bureaucrats make for a non-free country. In their pathological extreme, they make for a bureaucratic tyranny, of which the Third Reich and the USSR were examples.

There is a flaw in our system of government somewhere.

We hire people to work for us.
They in many cases are indemnified from any errors in judgment that they make while working for us.
We are the ones indemnifying our public servants.
When they do harm to us, it is up to us to pay ourselves for any damage that our servants have done.
And they get away scot free for their errors in judgment.
They are then free to abuse us as they please as long as we can't prove they acted maliciously.
