Why is America's judicial system so messed up?

Question

People who voted for George Bush only did so coz the other candidate was bad. Why dont you guys get more parties more people in charge? More options?

Answer 1

There's dozens of other parties...their candidates are even worse.

(I think you mean the Electoral system...the judicial system deals with courts, judges, lawyers, etc.)

Answer 2

Because the law, like the people it represents, is fluid and changing according to the best information and insights available at the time. Despite its best efforts to the contrary, sometimes those perspectives are flawed resulting in conflicting rules set in opposition with one another. But it is a system with built in checks and balances that genuinely seek out fairness and equality for all people under the law, and though we fail in that altruistic goal from time to time, it is nonetheless an ideal worthy of continuing to develop. Your question, however speaks more to our political system than to a specific look into our judicial system; politics is a stranger animal. Still, even at that, it's an adequate reflection of the current attitudes of the population it represents.
Our system of government has three key parts: executive, legislative, and judicial. The power that any one of these three branches has is balanced and held to certain prescribed limits by the vigilance of the others. This theoretically guarantees cooperation and accountability among government servants, and ensures that no one branch runs amok with uncontrolled authority. Within this framework there are plenty of options available to the citizenry, but it is incumbent upon that citizenry to be involved in the process ( by being aware of what issues are at stake and voting) to optimize its efficiency.

Answer 3

Lack of oversight. There's nobody actively checking up on judges so they are essentially able to influence the law in almost any way they see fit as long as it fits the pretense of being legal. In some states, if you ever had been a judge before, you can preside over cases, sort of like a fill-in, but the law states that they cannot be held responsible for their judgements.

Without safeguards, every system gets corrupted.

Answer 4

Bacause it's not bipartisan. It's all based on big money and corrupt politics.
