Judicial System

With the change of the global economy there will be more outside pressures placed upon our economy and our way of life. The recent January 2010 ruling that would effectively allow foreign corporations to contribute to US Elections is one of many examples that show the types outside influence that can affect our lives. If we do not place serious and immediate attention to restoring justice back to our judicial system the consequences of failure will have long lasting repercussions on our society and future generations to come.

The judicial system is the heart and soul of a nation. Without a properly functioning judicial system our society can not properly develop, because those agencies that serve society can not fulfill their mission. The effects of the morale of the police officer, to the victim, to the soldier in battle, to the border control agent, to the families who end up in family court, to the doctors who practice medicine, to the lawyers who "practice law". For more than 20 years the injustice that had existed for other groups had finally turned its sights on white middle class America.

Previously in American history the injustices served upon Native-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Japanese-Americans, women, homosexuals and other ethnic groups had not affected the majority of white middle class Americans. But that changed when the cold war ended.  The judicial system has been at the heart of destabilizing families in family court for more than 20 years now, they have placed their hand in the undermining of the American Union, the failure of the judicial system made it possible for the robbing of pension funds in corporate mergers, to determining a president with no logical form of reasoning at the US Supreme Court level. And very much like a dripping facet in a bathtub, it has begun to overflow into the erosion of civil liberties of all Americans through the Patriot Act.

Let's be honest with ourselves, not one of us want to go before a judge and it is something that we avoid. It is something that does not touch our lives very often and that is why it goes unchecked. The seriousness of the injustice that exists in our judicial system runs parallel to the injustices that existed in the court systems from the Soviet Union, before their downfall, and the injustices that existed to help Nazi Germany rise to power. The similarities in the erosion of justice in the court systems were the agents of change. This is something not to be taken lightly. This branch of government needs to be changed from top to bottom to serve its intended purpose. We have serious problems that our country will be facing and we need a judicial system that will help our society navigate through this maze of uncertainty.
