Tribute to our justice system

Its authority lies not in the use of coercive power, but in the social contract. Alone, the justice system,  is the arbiter of truth.

Its  word is acceptably the last in every argument between private persons and between the State and private persons.  As often said, the Courts are the great levellers of all human inequality. Status, wealth, and all, are checked at the door. The justice system is the law, and because it is wrong for any person including government to be above the law, it must properly rank as the most esteemed of the three arms of government.
