Rees Sees American System as Best Yet Flawed
Town Justice Warren Rees, speaking at Linn County on Landay observances, lauds the American system as the best yet but says it has major flaws to correct. He argues liberty includes the right to participate in government and to balance restraints on freedom to maintain order, and he cautions against tyranny and riots. He urges reforms to ensure swift fair judgments while avoiding easy but harmful solutions. He criticizes politicians who blame crime on judges and parole boards and notes a comic strip jab at the courts for pressuring evidence and releasing criminals. He quotes the courts’ duty to pursue substantial justice while preserving human dignity within a living framework of rights and duties.
