Reply #1: Nowhere mentioned is the tradition of legal precedence. [View All]

Sounds like if they had a perfect world, each case would be decided "de novo" (heard for the first time, without reference to past facts and law) -- and the outcome would be fixed in their favor. THEN, there would new legal precedence.

Once the judicial system has been coopted, a fascist dictatorship will be firmly in place.

As an attorney, I don't always agree with the decision that a judge will make, but I can understand how the decision was reached, which is explained at the time of the verdict/Judgment. My experience is that judges do not make up the decisions based on their whims or political pressure. An independent judiciary is necessary for a Constitution to be viable.
