Sad but true, American justice system sucks!

Hooray for Dennis Miller!!

He said recently on his show, regarding the judges who declared the
Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional: "So, Your Honor, the Pledge is
unconstitutional because it says 'Under God'. Guess that means when you were sworn in with your hand on a Bible, and at the end of your oath repeated, 'So Help Me God' that makes your job unconstitutional!
Therefore you have no job, which means your ruling doesn't mean *."

    Robsguns: Don't think it makes his job unconstitutional, just that part about "god". The other words are okay. One may also take an oath without using reference to a deity.

    It's not what you know that gets you in trouble, it's what you know that just ain't so!

    Ryan, anyone who's been a 1L (first year law student) can vividly remember having it pounded into them that we have a legal system, not a justice system. One can be codified, however imperfectly, the other is entirely subjective. I waffle on this, as there so many times that the legal system fails, but then I think of the societies where 'justice' was applied and decide what we have is slightly better overall than the alternative. Either would work better with omniscience, but outside of some judges' egos, such does not exist.

    Great observation, so many times those in power forget how they got there and what they swore to uphold.
