And you think your local court system is any better? Ha! Try suing a politician or a lawyer and watch what happens. The judiciary in this country is toast and has been for decades.
Dr. Know, on top of that some media assholes were arguing Obama should be "bipartisan" by appointing more conservative judges - I think the current ratio on the federal level is 2/3rds conservative, and some are real whack jobs. But of course, the article authors (supposedly objective) never mentioned the landscape...
There are times the powerful are held accountable, but it's the exception.
You have to remember, Bat, that conservative is a codeword for "those with money." There are no truly conservative entities in the government at all - only those who protect and kowtow to the wealthy who attained wealth by gaming the system unfairly.
I spent years suing an ex-US district attorney appointed by Nixon and his fugitive felon son a few years back. (Newt's Emory University bud, along with FL state Rep Tillie Fowler and the "judge" who heard the case) I was threatened, burned out twice, threatened some more, and the judges that "heard" the case, from the local Superior to the State Supreme Court, ignored subpoenas, the discovery process, failed to force witnesses to appear for depositions, and ignored their own previous rulings, legal precident, and common sense. They were both appointed to the State Supreme Court a year later by Zell Miller. The courts and lawyers of this country are a total sham, and the participants are lying bastards with no conscience or integrity.

This was Standard Operating Procedure with the Bushies. Despicable.

Look into J.A.I.L. It is needed badly.
