      If you’ve ever been inside a British courtroom, you’ll discover that they regularly act dumb, too. Lots of pomp and circumstance, but its still the same clueless, vulgar assholes under the hood.

    We need to stop treating courts and judges like they are sone mythical magical place and judges are mini little emperors in their mini little kingdom. It’s just a fucking place people need to go to handle their business. Why the fuck should everyone stand because the guy showed up for his job. All this shit is too much and judges are increasingly out of their minds

      Its all a façade because the system is designed to screw you, and grind upon the face of the poor. Justice? More like just-us.
