The gears of the judiciary grind slowly, but grind they do. They're grinding these Prenda guys down to their component atoms. That can take a while.

- untothebreach 11y agothe system is "slow" by design. The ability to appeal means that a potentially wrongly-accused person has a second chance for justice. I'm not saying it's not frustrating; I am definitely frustrated with it at times as well. But this part of the system, at least, is attempting to maximize "justice" (at the very least, to counteract the parts of the system that do not attempt it)

- narrator 11y agoWhat's interesting about the civil litigation system is that it is used to dealing with sociopaths and narcissists. After all, they are the ones most likely to wind up in civil litigation. Most people can be deceived by a sociopath's slick manipulations and lies because they naively believe that all people are generally good. Judges in the civil litigation arena are under no such illusions.
