It has nothing to do with sanity.

With rare exception, law in the US is "More Fair" the more money you have. So yes, reading the body of law from that perspective should provide significant clarity as to why the ruling was done that way.

>law in the US is "More Fair" the more money you have.

I've read enough history to know this isnt exclusive to the US, but rather the same in every country in human history.

Only religion, politics, and birth-right seem to have any pull similar to money.

In school I learned that my country is a democracy, but I grew up to learn it is practically a plutocracy. I count on crowd funding platforms to help the majorities confront the titans. I witness this battle all the time

Agreed. Also, those are all categories that notably correlate strongly with money.
