[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 5039467, member: 37461"] When you call someone a ph***ing dum (it's actually spelled dumb) ass, be sure your not looking in the mirror. 1, Justice rises and falls; Juries can rule for or against a defendant based solely on their beliefs and values irrespective of the evidence presented. It's called "jury nullification". Think O.J Simpson and rape convictions that are are overturned by DNA testing. Think two impeachments against Trump where the evidence was overwhelmingly against him and proved, beyond a reasonable a doubt, he was guilty of high crimes, yet was protected by the high bar set by Senate and constitutional rules of needing a super majority of 66 votes to convict. [B]Senate Republicans effectively engaged in "jury nullification" with their refusal to stand and defend the constitution against presidents who would commit high crimes.[/B] 2, The word justice is nearly interchangeable with the rules of law that defines a society's values and beliefs. Reasonableness and fairness lie at the heart of what we consider "justice". [B]Laws are created by legislators at the state and federal level.

State and federal legislators are elected by majority vote. That's what a democracy is; majority rule. When in a multiparty system the party, and their candidates, that receives the most votes wins.
