“Because of the system of checks and balances, I believe that our legal system is great in doing the purpose it was created for.” (Ray Price http://bigdawgwebpages.blogspot.com/)
Ray’s statement concerning the checks and balances of our legal system, conflicts with my opinion because I believe that the ability to morally enforce actions in our society, is plagued by corruption and power abuse. I have to agree that it may be one of the best systems the world has to offer, but it runs much more smoothly on paper than it does in reality.
“Our legal system is very tricky and it tends to play with our emotions. It will make us feel protected until we really need it. Then sure enough, they’ll go and stab us right in the back.” ( Jaqueline Hernandez http://fashionvsstyle-jackie.blogspot.com/ )
I would have to agree with Jaqueline’s statement because it isn’t enough to just study the law in the books. You have to observe reality and see the flaws and the issues that arise because of the limitations that our legal system places upon some areas (1000 page health care bills), but not on others (The Patriot Act).
“In order to defend yourself in a court of law, you have to know all the ins and outs and loop holes there are or to get a good lawyer.” (Matthew James Gonzalez http://mjgproduction.blogspot.com/ )
This quote from Matthew is a great example of how tough and to the book our system will be when it comes to different classes of purchasing power. But when it comes to a senator or a secretary of state violating a statute, it becomes a mockery as our entire country fills to the brim with biased propaganda and distortion that most likely comes from a friend of a friend who owns Fox News.
