No, this is why it's important to have checks and balances against unrestrained judicial power.
These checks and balances must include legal as well as practical costs and difficulties in having those orders implemented.
The system should assume malice on all parties, and work accordingly.
- daenz 5y agoThe checks and balances here is the appeals process, which fails when the cost of appealing isn't worth it. It will always be the case where a judge can calibrate a decision to be under the cost of appealing. Which is why it is important to have judges be moral and wise...who don't let their egos get in the way and restrain themselves, instead of forcing you to pay any cost to check them.
