I'm Western European so this kind of thing does not have the partisan colouring you seem to read into this, at least to me. I chose this nick because I've always liked the Intel codenames. :-) What I'm arguing here is that we've democratically elected leaders that have put the system in place that allows citizens to bring grievances when they have no other recourse to protect their rights. You can't then turn around and say that's an abuse of democracy, I feel it's the result. What I think you're really arguing against is the existence of 'friendly' courts. Lady Justice should be blind and so whether progressive or conservative, if a court does its job and applies the law as our democratically elected leaders have written them I honestly don't care. Even if that means it will sometimes rule in a way I disagree with.
