justice and law
    #11747011 -

does the law command justice because it is justice, or is it justice because the law commands it?

If it is justice because it is justice we don't need the law. But if it is whatever the law determines is justice then justice is completely arbitrary.

Think about it Euthyphro.

Justice is an ideal that law tries to approximate in reality.

The legal system certainly ain't perfect but at least theoretically its purpose is to enact justice.  :shrug:

Yeah ain't theory great.

Justice is for sale in this country and so is anything but.

I have no faith.
