The Woke Anti-White Racist Takeover of America's Legal System

Excerpt:
"The adversarial legal system—in which both sides of a dispute are represented vigorously by attorneys with a vested interest in winning—is at the heart of the American constitutional order. Since time immemorial, law schools have tried to prepare their students to take part in that system.

Not so much anymore. Now, the politicization and tribalism of campus life have crowded out old-fashioned expectations about justice and neutrality. The imperatives of race, gender and identity are more important to more and more law students than due process, the presumption of innocence, and all the norms and values at the foundation of what we think of as the rule of law."

    The Founding Fathers laid the cornerstone for a justice system in America, but what we currently have is a legal system and the two are not the same. Now add the further complication and confusion of what is discussed in this article and things will get a lot worse. I don't think it would take any great effort to scientifically prove skin and genitalia contain no brain cells so, therefore, trying to think by skin color or between the legs configuration or expecting thought to come from such sources is going to result in total failure. See the current VPOTUS for an illustrative example.

      That's precisely correct. One can have a legal system based on moral principles such as life, liberty, equality, and property, or we can have a legal system which the self-appointed elites use it to dictate to the rest of us how only they should enjoy life, property, and pursuit of pleasure. It is the direct conflict between the producers and the looters.

        Hard to paint a large group of people (like lawyers) with a single brush, but in any large group all there needs to be is a persistent and active minority to set the agenda for all the rest. This is how the legal system came to be and continues to expand its perverted power over the Republic at all levels - and reaps plenty of loot for the creators and maintainers of it. I know I've said this before in the Gulch, but here it is again: There was a joke about the NYS Legislature that asks the question, "If two bills are brought before the Legislature addressing the same issue, which one passes?", the answer is of course is, "The one that generates the most revenue for lawyers." I would add, "and protects those who pay the lawyers the most."

        The few lawyers I've met in my life all seemed like good honest folks who are smarter than the average bear and do their job for their client as best as they can - so far I've been satisfied with them even though they are expensive. On the other hand, I have a close relative that worked in various capacities in several law firms and her opinion is, "They are all snakes and if the SHTF, follow Shakespeare's advice."

          As with most professions, there are those who are honest and there are those who are not. But more than any other profession, lawyers must deal with profound ethical/moral challenges. I will use a common criminal (legal) framework to illustrate my point.

          Lawyers have the means to affect the system. That means comes in three valuable currencies: money, connections, and policy-making.
          Lawyers have the motive to affect the system. The two most common are money and power.
          Lawyers have the opportunity to affect the system. Lawyers are frequently called upon to craft legislation on behalf of policy-makers. This gives them the opportunity to structure the legislation with their own interests in mind in many cases.

    I am disgusted to learn that the ABA is mandating that law students shall be plunger-fed Critical Face Theory. The liberal fifth column of cancer in this country has metastasized rapidly. You close your eyes for one minute and the libs are tearing something new apart.

    This is going to cause a conflagration of riots over criminal court cases, as well as the guilty running free, and the innocent being imprisoned.

    I think the Muse of Lawyers is Lucifer. They're turning everything upside down.

    Blind justice. But not what we had hoped from blind justice. Now the blindfold is off and Lady Justice is a racist ideologue with her fat thumb pressing down on the scales of justice.

    No more justice, it's called revenge now. (Or restorative justice.
    Or Rape-a-nations.)

    I was a bit shocked to see that Biden who has only been in office slightly over a year has appointed 26 black ladies to our various courts. He, or someone near him, working full-time seems to be doing a lot of interesting things very hurriedly. I never knew the Government to do anything hurriedly. My mother used to say, 'Act in haste, repent in leisure.'

      I have been watching as well, he is stuffing the government with non-white, non-men. He's shape-shifted from Mr. Moderate for getting elected to full Progressive AOC Communist. Not only in the government, it's everywhere. Watch television advertisements, it's the same crap. Hollywood loves to present White Heterosexual Men as weak, violent, evil, unintelligent and emotionally unstable. In fact there was an article in the...cough cough...NYT in the 1990's called The Cult of Despair. It was about this very phenomenon of White men being portrayed in popular culture as losers. I don't read that rag normally, but it's so huge, by the law of averages you can actually find a good article in it once in a blue while.
