No Legal Expenses Under the AEP

[bobevenson]

There will be no judicial expenses of any kind paid by defendants or litigants under the AEP for either criminal or civil cases, and all attorneys will be hired and paid for by the government through private agencies. Furthermore, there will be a balanced presentation of the facts to a professional jury composed of people well-qualified to render a fair and proper decision. My God, don't you wish the AEP were in charge of things now?

Other than in your bedroom there is no AEP bobby.

Doesn't this run counter to your otherwise impeccable free market credentials, Reverend Bob? Would it not mean that attorneys are restricted in the deals they can cut with paying customers? By the meddling government no less! Yucky! Are you becoming a socialist?

Uwot, please stop viewing things with such a jaundiced eye. The government appoints companies whose job is to provide attorneys and juries for specific judicial cases. The cost will vary depending on the type and complexity of the case. If a company does not maintain a high standard of performance, obviously it will be replaced by another company. Please don't nitpick the details, but concentrate on the overall proposition I am presenting.

[uwot]

If a company does not maintain a high standard of performance, obviously it will be replaced by another company.

But, Reverend Bob, who decides what a high standard of performance is, if it is the government that employs the company? What say does the individual have? Surely you are relinquishing all authority to the state; that's the essence of totalitarianism, is it not?

Let me break it down a little further for you. The government doesn't hire attorneys and juries. It hires a primary contractor or several primary contractors who hire companies to provide them. Performance is judged by outside bipartisan committees, and based on their evaluation, the companies or primary contractors are subject to being replaced. Do you actually expect me to provide you with a detailed operating analysis, or can I expect you to connect the dots of this theory like a normal human being?

Sounds a bit complicated, Reverend Bob, not to say expensive. So, there will be a government agency responsible for hiring one or more primary contactors. These in turn hire companies to provide attorneys and juries. Then the whole thing is judged by other, presumably professional committees, which you describe as bipartisan; bipartisan with regard to what? Who do they report to, and who judges their performance?

The thing is, Reverend Bob, I am a normal human being and not a divinely inspired prophet.

The thing you don't understand, uwot, is that under the AEP, the government does not own, operate support or promote anything. This is free-market capitalism at its highest level.

It sounds like the AEP won't do anything and has no principles.

Oh, my God, have you lost your mind?

[uwot]

Just reading your words, Reverend Bob.

Obvious gross misinterpretation.

[uwot]

...under the AEP, the government does not own, operate support or promote anything.

Reverend Bob, I was so hoping you'd be new type of divinely inspired prophet; one that speaks clearly and consistently. Oh well. So how should I interpret the above?
