They wear "robes," and "hold" "court." What did the nobility/royalty of old do? They wore robes while holding court. They decided who was innocent and who was guilty (for the purposes of this little blurb I don't want treason to enter the conversation because that's a whole nother kettle of fish), and if they merely didn't like someone, they'd have them put in prison (modern day contempt?).
I'm not sure on the admiralty law/law of the sea, but I do believe we are in fact living under British rule again, albeit on a much more widespread scale, with no one king deciding everything.
Judges are elected. This is really the only reason to keep voting. Local shit is harder to rig and not worth the money (for the most part).
I had a conversation about this earlier. As unsavory as it sounds, the way forward isn't "targeting" corrupt officials. One would need to target their homes, wives, and children. I'm not saying you should do that, but it would work way better than shooting up a shopping mall or school.
Years ago I contested my property taxes and presented evidence of error in their calculations that the tax board could not provide counter evidence to refute. The guy that ran the tax board kept saying that they were all appointed by a JUDGE! As if this meant they were beyond reproach. I just laughed, and had to remind the stenographer to record that I WAS LAUGHING IN HIS FACE. Cause the bitch wasn’t typing my chuckles.
That’s right. I think I overpaid by a thousand dollars. Or, I could have sued and paid a lawyer ten thousand up to God knows what, then possibly lose and have to fork over the entire tax bill on top of lawyer fees.
They base property taxes on the square footage and sell price of homes in your zone. But they don’t actually look at your house. You could have a 2000 square foot decaying shithole from the 70’s, but if a modern 2000 square foot home sells in your zone for top dollar then the county will claim your house is worth the same and raise your taxes. The best ammo you can get is a recent appraisal where you pay a guy to show up and look at your house. Even better if when you plop it down, the county can’t find a home in your zone of similar size that sold in the last quarter. My tax niggers were trying to compare my house with a 6000 square foot mansion on 20 acres. With taxes it’s a negotiation, on something as pliable as the theoretical value of a property. I’ve never known anyone to sue over a tax bill and not spend more than was saved by winning. The tax niggers know this, so they’ll negotiate.
British rule has been international banker rule for a long time.
I don't know if it's true or not, but hookers have been saying forever that judges are always customers, and very perverse ones at that.
Judges are one of the most corruptible positions of humanity. They should be on revolving short terms, back to lawyering after a few years. And trial lawyers should be forced to do revolving prosecutor and defence.
