The problem is that the founders of our government - and please don't get me wrong, I greatly prefer democracy to the alternatives - but our founders were somewhat unaware of the tyranny of the majority, and failed to put enough safeguards in there to manage a country with laws so byzantine that it takes almost a decade of study to master one segment of it, be it trial law or estate law, or intellectual property law... The legal system as it stands is fucking unmanageable. And therefore, poorly managed. Though to give our system credit, we are still usually trying to be fair.
