> The judge is the law finder.

> Lawyers are there so your rights don’t get trampled

Aren't those rights all legal rights, or laws? What happened to our law finder between the second and third paragraph?

Edit: Also isn't that sort of admitting that if you don't go in with a lawyer your rights get trampled? It seems we agree.

> the judges I’ve encountered can suspend their baser instincts for a few minutes at a time in order to /do their job/ and part of that job is respecting the Constitution and the rights of the litigants.

Scientifically speaking the evidence is human begins are not capable of doing that. For example rulings of judges tend to heavily align with their political preferences, if they didn't nobody would care who is appointed to the supreme court and what party they favor. Another example litigants often wish to venue shop to find a court that is more likely to rule in their favor, if this perfect law finder actually existed that behavior wouldn't alter outcomes.
