Cultural Marxism insists that its thumb must be put on the scales of justice. From William Brooks at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
Peaceful and productive human societies depend on the maintenance of judicial principles that are consistent and impartial.
During the 12th-century reign of Henry II, the English king began to establish a more trustworthy system of legal decision making. The king’s judges were asked to consider verdicts that had been reached in similar cases.
Throughout the following centuries legal decision making was based on tradition and custom. This unified system of justice became known as “English Common Law.”
The legal principle, commonly known as “stare decisis,” discouraged dishonest plaintiffs from seeking unprecedented settlements for specious allegations against parties whom they disliked or sensed they could take advantage of.
The adoption of English common law in America made the United States particularly attractive to free, hard-working people who sought to engage in honest commerce, acquire capital, remain secure in their persons, protect their property and reputations, participate in public affairs, practice their religion, and live well-ordered lives.
When jurists feel compelled to make fair comparisons with precedent-setting cases, justice is generally well served.
