American Justice

Americans regularly claim their justice system 

is the best in the world 

which is ridiculous because it's based on a lie 

that adversarial equity 

is patently better than any other when it is not 

because it permits lies 

by pretending evidence under oath is the truth 

including even perjury 

since the defence may need to deny the facts 

to successfully defend 

which encourages duplicity instead of honesty

by the selected judges 

who are far from unbiased political appointees.
