201. 'DUE PROCESS' - What is it?

VIEWS@13493


due process(also due process of law) 
nounfair treatment through the normal judicial system, especially as a citizen's entitlement. 
"Every Canadian should be allowed Due Process" so the newly appointed top military General expressed during an interview. He would also put an end to gender bashing. Well, he didn't quite put it like that, but he indicated in-equality of the sexes had no place in his troops! Under his watch it would be eliminated!

I guess regardless any biological urges, inherent or expressed otherwise... he would NOT tolerate it!
I'm looking forward to seeing his changes in upsetting the Status Quo in that system.

How about what we're doing? Having a serious look at the 'legal' system.

It's all a bit like Alice in Wonderland, Due Process I mean. 'Due Process' through whose eyes? 
When you think stuff is making sense, somehow it is proven otherwise.
In fact I have come to the conclusion to beware anyone who seems to be making sense! 
What is down in black on white is to be questioned! Who wrote the Rules anyway?

When you're told that Judges are the creme de la creme of our society, just think of them, sitting there, all alone, as elevated pinnacles of our society - in their robes - looking down on us plebeians, looking up at them? How boring it must get, always looking down on people!

No wonder they veer off, guided by their foot-soldier 'brothers,' with their arguments at the ready! Alice in Wonderland indeed. It would be funny, good theatre, if it weren't nibling at the very essence of our democratic society. Our Courts' realities are NOT based on relevance and FACT, as the Rules prescribe. It is based on ARGUMENT, and a card baring member's persuasion!  
Who is doing the clogging of the Courts here?

Comparatively 'empty' of humans, Canada I mean, we are not concerned about lack of physical space - yet.  Regardless our multi-cultured inhabitants, we are still a generally 'polite' and well-behaving Nation. Unlike many over populated places, we are mostly always "Sorry." Why? About what? 

While our species is beginning to run amuck, imploding as I see it, not yet fully aware of its ultimate consequences, I have discussed feudalism and the control of few over many; how little has changed.

Here's a link to a wonderful read sent me by someone I am of late communicating with:

Think of it? A handful of plebeians meddling with a well-oiled cartel! In order to succeed, we must be gentle, yet persuasive. These are men and women with ego, pomp and posture who jab and stab for a living; not nurture, like philosophers, necessarily wise with empathy, consideration and ethics.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the concept of 'Due Process.'  It's the putting it to practice where the rubs lie hiding.

- fair treatment through the normal judicial system, especially as a citizen's entitlement. 
'Fair treatment' ...  'through the normal judicial system' would you please explain that your honour? Did I get 'Fair' Treatment? Am I dealing with the 'normal' judicial system here?
Court: Under the circumstances Mr. Steen you shall answer the questions! (do as your told, or else)Steen: Would you please explain to me what the 'circumstances' are that make the to me irrelevant questions, > 'RELEVANT!' ???Court:  The Court is not here to explain itself Mr. Steen. (i.e. we're sick and tired of your shenanigans > see ye)
ERGO, 'Due Process' >  "especially as a citizen's entitlement" all depends on:-  who is doing the processing.....
