Donald Trump doesn't think the whole NCAA basketball tournament should be played. Once the tournament gets down to four teams, the NCAA should just declare a winner based on total points scored.

Here's another joke about out courts.
Judge Joe Baker of Orange County (Orlando) Florida was tried by an ethics committee for reading books about the scientific principles of a case he was trying.
(I still have the newspaper clipping.)

I don't know how the trial of the judge ended, but I believe that when a judge is prosecuted for being educated, that qualifies for "The Jokes thread".

I would say the whole legal system is a joke, but that would be a political statement.

And yet I'd prefer by far your system of justice, than our system of justice...

As per request: @Wendy
That reminds me of the time I found myself in front of a judge. I thought I was making some decent technical points, until the judge looked at me pointed out this was not a court of science, it was a court of law. I knew at that moment I was done for. Facts and logic were unimportant compared to established precedents.
