    Are you asking for help understating what I wrote? Or do you think that sarcastically attacking strawmen of your own creation is an argument?

    Corrupt judges and bad decisions are why courts of appeal exist. These courts use multiple judges chosen at random specifically to prevent the kind of collusive behaviour that you’re implying.

      Are you asking me to explain why things are not always hunky dory? Just like the mob, people can be sniffed or snuffed out and blackmailed. Corruption will never be prevented when it comes to the higher ups in charge.

        Yes, if the world were a John Grisham novel, some nefarious group could blackmail multiple judges across all levels of the appellate provesd, rig the system to ensure they’re all assigned the case (by blackmailing the clerk of clurt) in order to ensure that they would have a chance to show illegally obtained location evidence to the jury, all 12 of whom are also blackmailed (why not?) to prove a person’s phone was at a specific location.

        Do you have any other fantasy scenarios that need co-signing?

          What kind of evidence are you talking about here? I am talking about one simple judge. How else do you think Epstein got away with shit for so long??
