I'm guessing that Joe Bumpkin's blatantly legally wrong decisions would be overturned on appeal by a higher order court. But I live in a country with a non-stupid way to select judges, so I don't know for sure.
I find it naive for someone to trust a process that, at just about any junction, can be corrupted and force you to lose resources.
Our rights are but toys to them. This will not change until we start dismantling the structures of power that allow them to steal autonomy from others.
I didn't say non-stupid judge selection is perfect, just that it's strictly better than electing them with no required qualifications.
Also, a firm no thanks from me on dismantling the structures of power until we settle unambiguously on what replaces them. Again, maybe my Canadian bias, our "structures of power" are not great but typically those who want to dismantle them are advocating sheer wingnut lunacy in their stead.
Yeah, government's never get it wrong or anything...
There are some things, like families, that governments are simply not equipped or qualified to rule on. It doesn't concern them, they have no standing and no stake in the outcome. They are reticent to take real action and instead want people to bend to their will without having proven superiority of character, word, or deed.
