The court that installed a president in 2000? The courts that allow dragnet surveillance in this country? The courts that gave Scooter Libby a $250,000 “get out of jail” card. The courts that have put Chelsea Manning in jail for contempt? Not for refusing to testify, but for refusing to testify IN SECRET! Though your title intriguing, the courts are no antidote for post -truth. Only the people can demand something more searching for the truth, accessing the truth, and understanding truth not likely black or white but some shade of gray and some truth cannot be achieved within an imperfect world, so compassion/empathy is your guide.
