And you think this is perfectly okay. You just don't get it, do you? What country did you come here from? How do you feel about the fact that what they can do to this fellow they can do to you?
"Whoever would make his own liberty secure must guard even his most despised countryman from oppression by government, for if he ignores this sacred duty he thus establishes a precedent which someday will surely reach to himself." (Thomas Paine)
What is not OK is that you don't believe in the rule of law. We the People established the rule of law and no one is above it. If you are under the impression that you are not then perhaps you are the one that needs to look elsewhere for a place to live. Somalia springs to mind as a suitable alternative.
The rule of law?

Meanwhile, here is an article that might help to open your eyes:
The Seattle Times: Local News: The cases your judges are hiding from you
For your information it is the courts which are increasingly ignoring the rule of law and are taking it upon themselves to serve as high priests, the most prominent recent example being the Supreme Court's decision to
appoint George W. Bush as our President in 2000.
You should take the time to educate yourself by researching the increasing level of misconduct by judges at all levels of government, one outstanding example of which is that of judges taking bribes from the Prison Industrial Complex to illegally sentence juveniles to confinement:

The Rule Of Law does not hold that the courts are the Law but rather guardians and arbiters of it. But too many contemporary Americans are willing to accept that some black-robed bastards who look down from high benches are in fact dictators. They are getting away with this because the Executive and Legislative branches of government are letting them get away with it, and the reason for that is too many Americans, like you for one good example, either accept it or are willing to ignore it rather than sound off and raise hell about it.
In this example we are told that some "court" (judge) has decided to confiscate the children of some guy who's chosen to be a Nazi, which is not against the law. This "court" is saying there are good reasons to do this but we can't know what those reason are because he's decided to "seal" certain court records. And that's good enough for you.
Have you even given thought to why the categorical reasons for taking this man's children cannot be revealed? If he mistreated them in any significant way, why was he not charged, convicted, and imprisoned for it?
You need to understand this business of government secrecy is getting to be an increasingly bad habit and the more they get away with it the more inclined they are to do it. Eventually the "rule of law" will become a simple declaration that the public has no right to question the actions of a "court."
I don't know how old you are, or what country you dropped in here from, or what gives you the impression you know what you're talking about -- but you obviously do not. Far from it. The first rule of law you need to understand is ours is a government of, for, and by the
People, not the courts. And if it becomes necessary to conceal the reason why a court is punishing a fellow citizen the People have a right to know what that reason is.
Again, if they can do it to him they can do it to you. Try to understand that.
