* Authority bias is a real thing. So is the tendency for people to believe someone in an area that they don't have background knowledge in. (Read an article in the politics section and find that the writers are rubbish and biased, turn to the business section and assume everything is true.)
* Most people cannot hold a philosophical discussion on the concept of justice. They sit on juries.
* The laws and judicial system has variance from state to state due to the founding ethnic backgrounds of those states having variance in the definition and application of justice.
* If a system, especially a legal/judicial system, has systemic corruption, you won't be able to use it against itself as the laws/procedures/precedence that keeps the system corrupt are in place and will not permit acting against it.
* Conservatives tend to be legalistic in temperment -- what is right and what is just is what the law and the judge say. Their pro "law and order" will maintain the status quo of a systemically corrupt system.
*In terms of the urban minority experience of claiming of being railroaded by a corrupt legal system, let us remember two things 1.) These legal systems are designed, maintained, and augmented by minorities. 2.) Minorities are the ones on the juries. 3.) These are democrats not republicans.
