You have a lot more faith in judges not being biased than I do. I’m about to say something that really makes me throw up a little in my mouth because it harkens back to the forced banal DEI training I had to suffer through in 2020 at BigTech [1]…

But judges have all sorts of biases both conscious and unconscious. Where little Jacob will get in trouble for mischief and little Jerome will do the same thing and Jacob is just “a kid being a kid”. But little Jerome is “a thug in training who we need to protect society from”.

[1] yes I’m well aware that biases exist. Not only did my still living parents grow up in the Jim Crow South. We had a house built in an infamous what was a “sundown town” as recently as 1990.

We have seen how quickly the BS corporate concern was just marketing when it was convenient.
