Complete naif here about the law, but isn’t there a reason that Justice is portrayed with a blindfold on? Doesn’t this purport that justice is blind?

I think that means that a judge must decide according to the law, and strive mightily to prevent any predjudice from entering into any decision, and apply the law as it is written.

Or am I being dumb here?
