US legal system is tailored to drag the litigation forever and allow lawyers buy million-dollar homes. Law of precedence that we borrowed from the Great Britain is complete BS. Why the f**k I have no chance of winning my case just because some court in 1969 decided a SIMILAR issue in favor of the opposing side.

Keep living under a delusion that US is the best country in the world with the best legal system. OJ Simpson case and Frist's bill haven't taugh anyone anything. Just wait till you get booked for online poker and spend all your bankroll on lawyer and court fees.

Remy over and out.

EDIT: Just remembered an article in Dallas Morning News a couple of months ago where a 50-year old woman, high-school history teacher was arrested (in error) for allegedly unpaid parking ticket. They "misplaced" her file and she ended up spending 5 days in county jail without ever seeing a judge. Guards telling her to shut the [censored] up and wait. Cell overcrowded with druggies and drunkards. Feeding on water and nasty sandwiches. Her family going nuts. I say, [censored] this system to high heavens. The only people who like it are cops and lawyers.

This is so ignorant on so many levels that I don't know where to start. I will simply point out that it is our system of "Staris decisis" ... meaning that we follow judicial precedence ... that is the cornerstone of our entire civilization. Without such a concept, you would have every case decided differently and you could never rely on knowing what the law was. The reliance is the key ... because we know that almost all the time judges will interpret the law as it has been interpretted in the past, you can govern your behavior accordingly. Otherwise, you would never know whether something you are going to do would be legal (in a criminal context), because even though all judges have decided cases similar to yours in the same way, you might get the tough judge who would do otherwise. You would get screwed. Of course, the same applies in transactions between people and businesses -- we can function in our society because we can rely on the fact that if a judge has held in the past one way, that another judge can't arbitrarily decide otherwise (obviously they do from time to time, sometimes actually creating new law, but most often being reversed on appeal).

You obviously have a chip on your shoulder about something ... ripping cops and lawyers ... but your post paints you an moran.
