I'm not sure that we should be taking advice on "impartial justice" from a slaver -- especially one who helped craft one of the most deeply ironic sentences that a slaver has ever crafted in history:
>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
I only bring this up, because of how jarring the idea of "impartial justice" is in the context of Thomas Jefferson.
