And that's a problem.

I think if really engaged in serious conversation, Europeans will agree that we should have courts.

I would go even further an say that there is a genetic component to parliamentarianism, a court just being a type of parliament, and the if you stick 20 European children on an island at birth, and assuming they'd survive, they'd form a body that looks akin to a parliament, and create processes for adjudging.

And that's the boon, I think we have a natural tendency toward adjudging, because decisions have to be made, but while providing "due process," i.e. notice and and opportunity to be heard, and so the issue isn't that their are courts, but rather the rules under which they operate and who's running them.

And this is really what bothers most of us. We really believe in order, but view the current process as being "political," i.e
unfair.
