We don't just need new laws, we need a new legal system. Actually a new legal philosophy. Our legal system is still based on pre-Revolutionary British practices. The laws and punishments applied to litigants are based on 3 ideas 1: "the king can do no wrong," (state immunity), 2: elections make winners "honorable gentlemen" with certain legal privileges, and 3: aristocratic privilege. In the modern world, these three principles should be regarded as fallacies. First, we have no king and our government should not be treated like we did. (all Furhers aside). Second, elections confer nothing but that the constituents of that politician decided they were going to represent them, or (in some states) judge them. Honor is based on the individual's ethics, and cannot be conferred on someone by a King or an electorate. Third, aristocrats are the modern version of the Feudal lord and the various petty nobles hanging around the court. Judges in Old Limey were appointed by the King, who thus "conferred honor" on them by honoring them with an appointment. Lawyers in COLON-ial times were some of the most wealthy men (only one woman was ever "admitted to the bar" in Colonial Maryland, Mistress Margaret Brent, an ancestor, admitted to execute her late husband's will). This was because only rich white men could afford law school. Their wealth assured they were Red Dots, Brahman Caste. No others need apply. Today, anyone can be a lawyer but most become very wealthy and one thing I've observed about the monied caste is they protect each other. Compare this to the French legal system. But our system causes the rich white man to face a far less extreme justice than the rest of us. Money talks, rich pedos walk. End aristocratic privilege.
