alt Hacker NewsWhy should anyone assume good faith about or trust any part of the government? It is well known, studied and documented that justice is not uniform in practice. Yes, ideally it is not, but we do not live in some abstract utopia where judges are not corrupt.
It's so odd that people would say that it is a feature that judges are inconsistent. Juries are one thing, but judges driving their own agendas independent of lawmakers and juries is not a great look.

Because we’re not all paranoid libertarians? I dunno man, going through life with that attitude seems like a recipe for unhappiness and frustration.
It’s not about judges being inconsistent. It’s about providing good judgements, which are appropriate to the specific circumstances.
