    The blindfold on lady justice has a rich-people filter.

      That’s why she has a scale on one hand, so she can tell which side put more money

    If justice isn’t blind, why do we all know what it should be? Because our legal system is the manifestation of justice in our authority structure, and it isn’t doing a good job of living up to the objective principles of justice.

    The problem isn’t the ideas of justice, the problem is the judicial branch of government.

    Justice is blind.

    Ideality is not reality though, it is a somewhat useful abstraction, about like any of the sciences; where there is always a scope of application and limitation in the entropy of reality.

    The terminology of a Justice system is the primary fallacy. It is a legal system and legislative governance. These are not equivalent. Even the concept of justice is extremely subjective to many factors and perspectives.

  • It never has been, and if it ever were we wouldn’t have needed all those statues of the chick with the scales and the blindfold as propaganda.

    Does anyone think it’s reality? It’s an unreachable ideal to be continuously worked towards.

      Also, it’s a very vague and loaded comment. This really feels like it shouldn’t be here.
