But, look on the bright side: "liberals" don't really care about justice for black men, either (i.e. black men and white men are finally equal before the law!). "Liberals" care expanding their own power over everyone else's lives; they sometimes pretend to care about an injustice done a black man if they see a way to hype it to increase their power.

That's one thing that sours so many people on lawyers in general. People don't want law; they want justice. When an injustice like this happens, we are justified (pun deliberate) in feeling outrage. At a time like this, judges are quick to blame the Congress. At other times they are more than happy to do a little legislating from the bench themselves. It's all about power.
