It is our responsibility to explain to the public how an often unpredictable system of justice is one that serves a productive, civilized, but always evolving, society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The purpose of our justice system is to reflect the values of our society and to punish those who violate our standards.
It's important we understand our system seeks justice and not revenge.
But I have always said that it's important we must make sure that justice is at all time be maintained.
The simplest way of understanding justice is giving people what they deserve. This idea goes back to Aristotle. The real difficulty begins with figuring out who deserves what and why.
It's really important to me that the public have confidence in their criminal justice system. We don't operate very well if the public doesn't trust us.
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
If justice is supposed to be fair, than any justice system you would hope is based on fairness.
A human society obeys the dictates of reason and is guided and governed by a respect for justice.
We as a Congress have a moral obligation to bring justice to the families of these victims. Furthermore, as a society based on laws, we have a responsibility to ensure that criminals don't go unpunished.
There is one system of justice, demanding that all be held accountable when laws are broken.
