When will justice be unblinded?

When people choose this. As soon as society truly, fully CHOOSES this. This change needs to start (and has started) in the home, with the individual, with every action that places emphasis on equality of individuals above social, political, or financial stature.\n\nThis is a slow process; working with it, encouraging it, and re-supporting it with every decision will eventually manifest that reality. Patience is key here.

I'm not sure if you can find this information easily (maybe if you call your local Republican or Democratic party headquarters or your local courthouse?).\n\nRegardless, hopefully the Judge hands down his ruling independently based on the evidence and precedent, not his political leanings.

I'm not totally opposed to the idea, but you gotta remember that in the old days, these punishments were meted out on site and without the benefit of "interference" from an impartial judicial system.  While "eye for an eye" would certainly cause some criminals to take a closer look at their actions, it would still have to be administered carefully and minimally, much in the way the death penalty is handled today.

No! If you pay attention you will understand we are a country of laws not justice. I would rather see 100 guilty go free then 1 innocent be imprisoned. But today it is win at all cost and the people don't seem to care. O.J. is a good example I watched the entire trial and I would have voted not guilty too. Dr. Lee is the leading forensic scientist in the world, and he pointed out people don't bleed blood preservative. Most people in this country talk as if O.J. was found guilty even though the prosecution had no real evidence against him, only tainted evidence. Why didn't anyone follow through with the evidence Dr. Lee presented that said there were other people at that crime scene other then police, and the footprints were much too small to be O.J.? It is a spin of a wheel when you walk into an American court.

The idea of an independent judiciary is that when somebody has the power over somebodies liberty, you can't have them swayed by political, or indeed public feelings. judges are employed to dispense justice, not the poiliticians, or indeed tabloid newpapers.\n\nIf there is disqueit about the leniency, or harshness of a sentence it can be handed down to a court of appeal to apply and ajustment to the sentence, or indeed quash a conviction and order a retrial.\n\nThis is a safegauard against bigotry and ill informed public prejudice,

Not for sure, but probably at the beginning of the new year. That's usually when new laws take effect.

'Justice' and 'Perfect' don't belong in the same sentence.

There is no Justice In the Justice Department so we would not miss\nit , but how about helping the poor and weak is that out of the question?

Yep, you hit the nail right on the head. Justice is supposed to be blind. It's the same thing i've been saying for a while now, the people who support illegal aliens are actually supporting discrimination. They believe that illegal Mexican aliens should be exempt from the law. I have not seen anybody marching for the "rights" of illegal Chinese or Arab aliens. Only illegal Mexican aliens. They want government supported discrimination. \n\nYou are EXACTLY right. The law needs to be applied equally. Just because somebody is poor, or has a family does not exempt them. Even if they are illegal Mexican aliens. Look at all the people in our prisons. Most of them were poor, and all of them had families. They all have a story. That didn't exempt them from facing up to the consequences of their crimes.

Obstruction of justice.  It depends on the situation.

I agree with what MLKing said BUT what I have realized as I get older, is that justice is not immediate.\n\nWhat I mean is that say you see an act of evil, a lightning bolt does not come down out of the sky and punish the evil doer immediately. Justice takes time and is a lot slower than the false gains of an evil act.\n\nI guess justice is a double test... one that test our faith and one that test our patience. Remember the old saying, 'What goes around comes around." That is true but you have to wait on it to come back around. lol

The Judiciary Committee is going to vote on the latest bill in the senate.\n\nCall them and tell them,\n\n"NO AMNESTY"\n\nhttp://judiciary.senate.gov/press.cfm

Yes.  Vigilante Justice should not be acceptable in this country.  We are better than that.

There is a fine line between justice and revenge, but it's a clear line.\n\nWhen somebody is wronged, it is not the responsibility of the one who was wronged to execute justice.  Someone else should do that.  When you take revenge for yourself you are likely to do it in anger, which can cloud your judgment.\n\nThis is why we have the justice system in place.  It is why a judge must recuse (disqualify) himself from a case if he is involved in it.  Justice is, indeed, blind.  Revenge is, in turn, hazy.

Truth and Justice are two sides of the same coin called God which is the sustaining force of the whole Universe. Hindu jurisprudence is not a separate subject from Hindu Metaphysics. In the Taiteraya Upanishad the Eternity, Wisdom, Truth is called the other name of Dharma. Dharma in Sanskrit is not religion in English. It is a word without an equivalent in the entire western vocabulary.\n\nSaddam Hussein has got what he deserved. The publicity it has got will only strengthen people's faith in Dharma which is Truth and that alone prevails.\n\nWhat next?, is a very big question. It is beginning of the end. The end will be bitter for both the West and the Islamic community.

In the real world, no.\n\nSubstitutionary justice is no justice at all...it's sick and it's a cynical way to balance ledgers.  Hell, you see some of that going on in the Middle East with groups killing one another:  Someone looses a child to a rival tribe's assassin, he goes and murders some other member of the rival tribe in revenge, the sibling of the murder victim goes out and machineguns a bus of the first mans' tribe...and it never ends.\n\nThe whole thing started with the notion of blood sacrifice to God to atone for sins...goats, sheep, and so forth.  Did anyone notice that when Cain supposedly offered God some of his hard-grown wheat and Abel offered an animal he had caught, God liked Abel's sacrifice more?  God had a fetish for blood, I guess.  And burning flesh too.  Until Jesus's got spilled, then he suddenly got squeamish about it.  \n\nHe didn't die for anyone's sins:  He was killed because he was politically inconvienent and became a martyr to his own cause.  That's all.  The rest of the nonsense got tacked on later.

The law should apply to everyone equally. \n\nThe press can have a hay day with high profile cases though.
