Let this prime example of the extent that a very substantial portion of the actors and agents who comprise our Legal/Judicial System, not only abuse their position - their status of power - but who so very often continue their normally fraudulent routines with impunity. The same continues to be executed at ALL of our expense in a number of ways which are both overt and subtle.
We as a nation, by now, have permitted their encroaching upon our entire economy, upon our entire existence/lives, etc, as they indeed have a lock on virtually ALL legislation, and virtually all MAJOR decision-making that makes our 'system' tick. Such is tantamount to granting this elite and highly parasitic 'element', licenses to lie, cheat and steal from ALL of U.S.
The question we must pose at this unfortunate time, and which may rightfully evolve into 'the question of the century' is: When will we plainly seize the moment to take the necessary steps to cut such lawyers and judges down to size? Doing so is more important than many realize.
