Tom’s Big Picture

A well-meaning but IMO mistaken Christian lawyer friend of mine once defended the proposition that the whole idea of “judicial tyranny” was misguided, and that Christians and conservatives are overreacting.  I think it would cause him too much cognitive dissonance between his chosen profession and reality to believe anything else.  Not sure if that’s the case with my friend, but I’ve seen before where lawyers drink the Kool-Aid in first-year law school about how THE LAW and its inbred bureaucracy of judges, attorneys, prosecutors, etc is the only thing keeping us from all killing each other, and though imperfect, it is the best we have.  Which conveniently justifies why it costs $10,000 for a lawyer to write three pages of information (personal experience, don’t ask), as obviously the high priests of such an essential system are entitled to just and equitable compensation. 

 The law bureaucracy is really just a racket, i.e. a business posing as something other than a business, and our people have always known that- which, for example, is one of the reasons when our people wrote the Texas Constitution they put the homestead and worker’s wages out of reach of judges’ and plaintiff lawyers’ greedy hands.

Here’s the latest outrage of judicial tyranny, and I don’t think I’m overreacting by calling it what it is.  In healthier days, our people would know exactly what to do with judges like this, as encapsulated in the Virginia state motto: Sic Semper Tyrannis!
