Nice to see you, smooth. I think that his definition of justice was more along the lines of what I meant when I wrote about the rule of law. Hence, my point about America's over-incarceration of drug users as an example of the US' lack of respect for justice. Drug possession is illegal, and I think this isn't just. I don't think the US is really too concerned with this type of justice, the "making sure motherfuckers get what they deserve" kind. Or, at least we're really bad at it. Or, the other type of justice (rule of law) coupled with corrupt legislative and executive branches makes the "motherfuckers get theirs" type of justice really difficult to pull off. That's even assuming that there's an objective way to dole out to the motherfuckers that which they deserve in appropriate portions.
