They may judge the judges all they like, but as they don't have capacity to overrule those judgments, their complaints are in vain.
They do have the ability to appeal harsh, unfair or illegal sentences handed down by courts. Judges make decisions based on the law, but they are not above it.
Quote:Jesus said, "with what judgment you judge, you will be judged." Paul said, "in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things."
I haven't checked lately, but last I remember, I did not flood the entire world and kill all creatures on it because people didn't like me enough. So, it would be unjust to judge me for this crime, even though I judge God for it (as he is actually guilty of it and I am not).

You find meaningless babble profound. That's telling.
