RE: Ross Ulbricht's Defense Team Fighting To Appeal
The American judicial system, while looking fairly good "on paper," in practice simply stinks to high heaven. The bad actors - notoriously prosecutors and judges - have entirely too much sway and can produce directed outcomes pretty much at will. It's "rule of man" v "rule of law," and I have seen it again and again all my life. Disgusting.
A few recent articles on Steemit about jury nullification have been helpful and encouraging.
Thanks for reminding us of Ross's plight.
Fully agree! and this perfect quote comes to mind ----: “When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law.” ― Frédéric Bastiat, The Law
"The Law" by Bastiat is a seminal work. Though I'm a voluntaryist, it comes close to being a book I would consider "required reading" universally! ;)
