I wish we as a society would stop pretending that justice is blind, when it very clearly is not. (lemmy.world)

If justice isn't blind, why do we all know what it should be? Because our legal system is the manifestation of justice in our authority structure, and it isn't doing a good job of living up to the objective principles of justice.

The problem isn't the ideas of justice, the problem is the judicial branch of government.
