The Chisholm abomination joins the Lerner abomination.
...It's a common conceit among lawyers that our legal system is the justice system - which is not fully true: It's a
justice system and a pretty good one at that but it's not the only
system of justice. So there's an assumption that if the legal system is
manipulated and even blocked, then there's simply no recourse at all for
those on the receiving end of this treatment and so they'll just accept
it. Which is clearly what the above people and their allies seem to
believe. Well out of inertia of trust in the system this is true up to a
point - but only up to a point.
But when that trust that
justice will actually be delivered is finally broken, stoic acceptance
of the jiggered results of a broken system can no longer be counted upon
either. Instead you will see a reversion to the older, rougher justice
delivery firmware that's embedded in our DNA and it will be ugly. But
not necessarily unjust.
Given that people have had their lives
destroyed for merely making a bad joke on social media, wearing the
wrong shirt, answering a hypothetical question about catering
incorrectly, and using the wrong ordering of words in a phrase, not to
mention threatened with jail for the act of committing politics, I see
no reason that Chisholm, Kluka, Lerner, and Machen who have done far worse should be able to walk the streets and go through life comfortably and carefree....
We don't, either. This is something we've been pressing for several years; the perversion of "justice" will inevitably lead to civil disorder.
