The Founding Fathers created the judiciary as a third, co-equal branch of government precisely for this purpose—so it would be largely immune from politics.
Former President Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments does not indicate that America's judicial system is broken. His trial and the charges brought against him do not highlight a 'weaponized' or 'rigged' judicial system.In fact, issues surrounding the judge and the prosecution, as well as Donald Trump's rights before and during the trial and after his conviction, indicate that the system is working as intended.
While not without its flaws, our judicial system is still the foundation of our democracy that separates us from tin-pot dictatorships. Every American is innocent until proven guilty. Every American is entitled to his or her day in court, to be tried by a jury of his or her peers. The guilty can appeal a decision they perceive to be unjust.
