When Justice is Blinded

What does it mean when justice isn't blind?

What does it really mean when we say that justice is supposed to be blind?

Blind justice is the simple premise and foundation of our legal system. The manifestation of which is this. Justice should find no favor, nor any condemnation of any individual, based upon anything other than facts.

The duty of justice is to sift the facts and only the facts. Determine the truth and judge upon the truth. Strive only for the determination of guilt or innocence, absent any other influence than fact.

And nothing should impede that pursuit of truth by facts. Not money, not position, not title, not influence.

Examine the facts, and let the chips fall where they may.

Theodore Roosevelt said it best when he said: "No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it."

The application of the laws and the triers of fact need also be applied equally and fairly. Absent any outside influence. Particularly any influences that stands to gain political power, influence or control over the people. Power should never be allowed to be obtained, via the bodies and souls of those who were sacrificed to achieve any evil or illegitimate political goal.

However, that is precisely where America stands today. We stand at a crossroads. A crossroads of either adherence to law, or the abandonment of it. Adherence to principle, or the abandonment of it.

And we either adhere to the principle of blind justice? Or we accept blinded justice. Which are two entirely different definitions and outcomes.

There are at least three trials to begin in America and soon.

The Derrick Chauvin trial in Minneapolis.

The Garrett Rolfe trial in Atlanta.

And the grand jury investigations into President Trump in Atlanta.

After Derrick Chauvin was tried in the court of public opinion by the media last year? The facts have finally surfaced. George Floyd did not die from any injuries sustained due to the actions of Derrick Chauvin. George Floyd died from respiratory distress and heart failure, caused by a lethal amount of fentanol in his body. Combined with cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.

The medical examiner having stated in the autopsy findings, that "had George Floyd been found dead under any other circumstance? His death would have been ruled as an overdose due to fentanol."

Yet Chauvin will soon be on trial for his life and the facts have already been so twisted and contrived, that it will be difficult for anyone to determine the truth. Much less to honestly sift the facts, absent the abhorrent public pressure, being mounted to find guilt regardless by the media and race based influence in Minneapolis and nationally.

The same is true of the Garret Rolfe case in Atlanta. And the same influences are present there. A force of will outcome of guilt regardless, is desired by race based and prejudicial influences in the community and nationally and by the media.

There is a predesignated decision to provide what those propelling racism as their driving force, want to see as their justice in the Rolfe case.

And now there are supposedly two grand juries empaneled to investigate President Trump for charges that once again, were created by a media circus and political bias and have already been proven false and lied about by the media.

The big three in media? CNN, Washington Post and the New York Times each having to proffer retractions and mea culpas, over their untrue and falsified reports on the president's phone call to an AG investigator in Georgia. Where it was alleged that he pressured Georgia officials to "falsify voting tallies to his favor."

Yet the grand juries proceed, similar to the investigations of a proven falsified dossier and fabricated evidence to obtain warrants four years ago against the same man.

The foundations and principles of true democracy are being attacked and destroyed daily in this country. And when the last blows are struck and these bastions of the foundations of freedom are crumbled, what will be left will be nothing more than abject totalitarianism.

So as you watch these trials and investigations play out, keep that in mind. There is a time when the people are the last line of defense for their own freedoms. There comes a time when if the people do not rise to take up the banners of truth and justice and freedom? There will be neither truth nor justice, nor freedom.

Righteous indignation against evil and battles against self serving and self enriching and corrupt elected officials is not sedition. It is what Jefferson realized and recognized, along with the others, who sacrificed their lives and their fortunes to create a document of rights and freedoms for a nation.

If this nation is once again pushed to civil war? It will not be due to any renegade few, be they either radical or zealots. It will be due to the reality that the vast majority of Americans have been so thoroughly abused by their government, that there are no longer any other alternatives.

And when that day comes, there will be no turning them back. They will take back their country and hold those responsible accountable. As justice is and was always supposed to be applied.

And it is about the time that others began recognizing that and doing the same.

Reagan had it right.
