Justice Corrupted
When judges legislate from the bench or manipulate juries by their ideological or political biases, justice is denied and corrupted. People and issues are not treated fairly or justly.
Case in point. A group of young journalists recently exposed via video Planned Parenthood’s criminal practice of selling aborted baby parts for profit. Judge William Orrick manipulated the jury by not allowing the defense to present key evidence. The journalists were found guilty and fined thousands of dollars. Judge Orrick is a longtime supporter of Planned Parenthood and his wife recently posted a comment on social media that the journalists are "domestic terrorists"! The verdict is now under appeal. Meanwhile, babies will continue to be sliced up and sold for profit. This was a totally corrupt judicial verdict.
And on top of these injustices, notice the recent case of Roger Stone, an associate of President Trump, a 70-year old man sentenced to 9 years in prison for one lie to Congress while Andrew McCabe tells multiple lies under oath and gets off scot free! Why do rapists and other violent criminals get two to five year sentences and political opponents get 9 to 25 years.
Why are these injustices happening? As Americans we expect our justice system to be fair. One reason is liberal judges make their opinions not on the objective standards of the law but to accommodate the latest norms of our culture and their own ideological preferences.
Secondly, they are motivated by their hatred of the truth and the conservatives that stand for it, which by the way they have blinded themselves to see! Premeditated and ideological judgment has now overtaken our court systems. Even the Supreme Court Justices are nominated as liberals and conservatives. Why is this? They should all be strict Originalists and Constitutionalists, interpreting those issues and the people brought before them, strictly by the law restraining their own particular biases.
Well what are we Christians to do living in a society permeated with such corruption? We must, according to our Biblical mandate, stand for the truth relentlessly with our voices, our writings, our preaching and in a Republic, our voting. Doing all this while remembering that God in His sovereignty used the most corrupt political system ever to bring about our redemption. In the end He will use this system to accomplish His purposes. VINCIT OMNIA VERITAS – The truth conquers everything.
