He is NOT talking about the legal system in general. He IS talking about one legal notion, namely, "obscenity", which to this day could not be defined in any meaningful way, and which is at the core of prosecutions for actions that can only reasonably be considered actionable after they've been actioned.
Do you grasp the problem here ? If tomorrow I invent "horrorability", which is something that "I know when I see", YOU have no way of defending yourself. I'll prosecute you, for whatever I don't like, send you to prison, take your property, all is fair game.
And some other nitwit will sit where you're sitting right now and blabber about how my tyranny is somehow "matter of fact" and as such must be accepted, and also, being so matter of fact, can not be unconstitutional, or patently illegal, and in general undefensible.
We're not discussing jury trials, and we're not discussing "the legal system". We ARE discussing the fact that obscenity is not a valid notion, logically, nor laws based on the concept of "obscenity" constitutional.
