The judicial system is, in effect, highly dependent upon good faith. This can be seen with parking tickets being paid by the wealthy or not stalling the lawsuit until the opposition runs out of money.
So, if a person acts in bad faith against such an incredibly fragile system, then I don't think their title ought to be recognized. And, in my eyes, hoping that the president extra-judicially locks up half of hollywood and his opposition, and then ships them to guantanamo bay, qualifies as acting in bad faith, as it seems to overturn the judicial system.

I'm sure I'm the one seeking convenient narratives, not the group of people who believe in satanic ritual abuse is being conducted by their political enemies because of a guy who used to post semi-anonymously on 8chan. There's not much nuance to be had in that belief system
- scarface74 6y agoSo now we believe that lawyers and judges act in good faith even though we have seen statistically that for instance the “War on Drugs” is biased toward minorities by prosecutors (lawyers) and judges? What next? We should also trust the police - video evidence to the contrary?
