You can lead a horse to water, but it's hard as hell to hold one under long enough to drown.

I really do like that, I keep forgetting how right on top of things DP was.
In this case it was the Civics classes that Spidey slept through or skipped, but same idea.
Spidey's problem is, as CKB has so correctly pointed out, is the same one that has plagued ole Prattlin' Pete all these years, the courts don't agree with him, therefore they must be wrong and corrupt, not the simpler answer is that he is the one who is not only wrong, but dead wrong.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

Re: Fair trial
What Spidey fails to understand is that it is the very judges themselves who vehemently demand that their position remains independent, because they recognise that it is essential, and they insist that they do stay independent. I can only speak of the situation in the UK, where judges' decisions often find against the government, and I believe the situation to be much the same in the US.
Until Spidey and his ilk can appreciate the judiciary consider their independence paramount, any attempt at reasoning with these people falls on deaf ears.

Re: Fair trial
And of course, Spidey does refuse to acknowledge that the courts not only can, but do find against the gov't all the time, and say in no uncertain terms that the gov't is wrong on some issue. The problem Spidey has is that they won't agree with his version of the universe, and so they are therefore corrupt and biased.
