"When we talk about what’s wrong with our democracy, we talk about our political structures and processes. …
We don’t talk about our legal system. We should. The American legal system doesn’t uphold the values of democratic rule like equality. It far more often corrupts and perverts them. Rich people like Trump twist the system into a pretzel and win delay after delay after delay."
@wdlindsy Thank you for sharing this. This is the reality thrust into our faces everyday by the injustice system now. And I'm being upbraided for being angry...again.
The same people don't seem to question, WHO in this country can begin to imagine affording the kind of legal twisting and turning of the system Trump and his openly unscrupulousness legal sharks use to subvert the Constitution and avoid any accountability for the worst crimes in our history.
@EarthOne24 Yes, I think he makes excellent points, and we should be angry at the betrayal of justice, lack of respect for equality, undermining of democracy.
"Corporations pay fines, usually not that large when considered against their bottom line, and they admit no wrongdoing, even after their practices have killed people. Poor people, meanwhile, get pushed around by the system constantly.
There is no such thing in this country as equality before the law, and everyone knows it."
