I mean if you do enter a legal case, they cannot just laugh away and be like "oh DoctorOetker such a silly case". They will have to take it seriously and follow all legal procedures. I don't know why people think law is some commonsense topic when it's highly technical and domain-based.

That's called a motion to dismiss and it does happen. Maybe it wouldn't in this particular case, but not every case gets the full 9 yards of examination if one side's argument is bad enough.

I'm not asking what the courts do, I'm asking what they should do?

[altmanaltman]

Asking what they should do is literally what they do. Law is not a commonsense topic where asking whaty they should do has any meaningful implications if you do not understanding the underlying theory and precendence which requires deep domain knowledge.

[DoctorOetker]

the concept of democracy is that everyone is entitled to opinions on what should or should not happen.

its a basic distinction between descriptive and prescriptive statements or questions.

While this is true, increasingly we no longer live in a democracy, but rather a bureaucratic technocracy.
