re: #167 Gus
Sadly, the judicial system is mostly politics. Judicial careers are kept through playing politics. There is little logic or reason and plenty of personal emotions at play. Judges aren’t mostly about law but getting re-elected. Tough on crime and all that sorts of talk.
Logic and reason fall pretty quickly when they face parents worried about their children. Anyone who tries to stand athwart that train of parental emotion is normally run over by it.
