Why are we assuming that there is no bias in the judge, or that the very court and the legal system does not have biases of there very own? A quick look at 200 years of jurisprudence in the US should make it clear that judges are subject to the ideological whims of their time. Plessy V Ferguson anyone - separate but equal?Every structure has guiding principles - theories, methodologies - which accept certain ideas and practices as norms and discard others.
At the same time, Breggin seems to overstate his case in order to make his point, as Linkadge alluded to.
