No. Many use their power for injustice!

I'll answer your first question on whether it's equal or not....I'd say no it's not equal to justice! why? take for example Hitler!, he had power but did this power help the citizens?? did it produce justice to them?? same goes for the Iraqi leader: Saddam Hussein did his power bring out justice to his people?? power has to be within the hands of a good person if that happens then there would be justice!

Certainly, it is a suitable topic and a good question.
Karma, or "what goes around comes around" is justice and is all powerful, so I would put it this way: Justice is all powerful and no one will keep power for long without justice.

Is that a suitable question??? depends on who it needs to suit (on Y answers, it doesn't appear to violate any of the rules)
Is power equal to justice????? No, I can't think of any way that the two are equal or even equivalent. They may be related. . .
I guess the first responder had a point; more details or specifics would help.

The person who has power can choose to be fair or unfair. Example: a gouvernment can decide to help a group in society or not because it has that power.
The person or group in society who seek and represent justice does not always have power to help their cause. The person who has justice need the one who has power to reach its goal.
My answer is that power is not equal to justice. Your topic is suitable.

It sounds pretty political to me, which is no doubt a category to be found in YA, maybe under Social Sciences, or under a simpler one or none at all.
I can't even begin on this topic for some reason. It seems unreasonable somehow. Like apples and oranges or something...

I think power takes away from justice because it can be abused. If you have power you can bend justice to a certain degree.

It's like having a prof trying to control the discussion.

How about: Is vengeance equal to justice?

NO.
Power spreed injustice around the planet.
