Re: [Marxism] Eric Posner and his leftist allies justify kangaroo courts




Judge Richard A. Posner has little use for words like fairness and justice. "Terms which have no content," he calls them. What America's lawyers and judges need, he says, is a healthy dose of freeâ??market thinking. From the bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit here, Judge Posner applies a standard of economic efficiency in cases where many others fail to see markets at play. He calibrates social costs and benefits on questions of religious expression and privacy. [Barrett 1986]
