Isn't that what "representatives" are for?
- threatofrain 7y agoYes, and judges are either appointed by your representatives or elected directly. Does that smell like a process which coldly sieves for legal competency, or a proxy for the will and moral style of the people? That is why I say based on the look and feel of western law, judges are proxies for the people, and not some paragon of legal competency.
