I often sit and question the absurdity of the American justice system. Everything from the drug war, private prisons, the role of police, to seat belt laws are subjected to my scrutiny. Today I will discuss our court system, in particularly, judges. I find it demeaning that we have to look up, and plead our innocence, to a man that is dressed in a costume. A question that I never seem to receive an answer to is, why do judges wear black robes, and not regular clothes like the rest of us? I did some research, and this is what I have come across.
