Fun fun :S

The court system is really losing credibility. They've always kind of made stuff up as it suits them (Wickard v. Filburn) but now with the internet, everyone can second-guess them and have an opinion.

The big problem is that there's no realistic replacement. Possibly some kind of AI lawyers with massive-multiplayer-online-jury where jurors are given abstract philosophical questions which provide the glue that maps the facts of the case to an abstract model of law so that the actual judgement is something that can be checked with a proof verifier.
