Episode Details

This passage critiques the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granting the Communist Party special privileges in campaign reporting, exempting it from the disclosure rules required of Republicans and Democrats. The author questions the rationale, arguing that donors to the Communist Party rarely face persecution, while donors to mainstream causes like United Way sometimes do. He frames this as an example of “reverse discrimination,” where the law favors certain groups over justice. The broader concern is that justice requires impartiality “no respecting of persons” yet legal favoritism toward specific groups undermines true justice. The passage concludes with an example of jury bias favoring a wealthy company, illustrating how prejudice, rather than fairness, can dictate outcomes.
