Pause a second: I keep seeing the same arguments again and again about Assange. All of them have surfaced and settled. Next step should have been to invent some sort of court where those arguments are debated, dismissed or retained, and we should tally the arguments and determine who’s wrong.

The justice system has existed from before Napoleon and it still seems it’s the fourth wheel of the shopping cart. Its role is to fix things in society by sanctioning malevolent people a posteriori, to prevent them from acting further and discourage candidates to malevolence, and determine where is the line in cases where there is no winner. So when is the last time our justice system fixed anything in our society, and why have we stopped innovating in terms of democratic advances?
