Re: The Chief Justice and the well overdue emergency
No, it is not about dictatorships its about any government. I used executives for those that run the government.
Just imagine, if there is country where people do not get justice, than who do you blame? Judiciary or rulers? If you blame Judiciary than Judiciary is not tool of rulers, but if you would blame rulers (and that is what happens) then judiciary is tool of rulers.
Same way if one finds good and prompt justice in a country, than one give credit to rulers and not Judiciary.
Reason is obvious. Judiciary is tool of rulers. Rulers use judiciary to provide justice to the people and that is why rulers get blame for bad judiciary and credit for good judiciary.
