Offhand accusations of extremely serious charges like corruption breed lazy cynicism. It's not only fair but a good idea to ask people to support their claims: a little bit of intellectual rigor could make the difference between a valuable forum and an echo chamber where _everyone knows_ that outgroup x is just _so corrupt_.

It's really not good to say "just go and google it and you'll see how right I am". Antivaxxers, for example, say the same thing.



It's self-evident. To the extent a court is biased, it's corrupt. And if they weren't biased, they wouldn't be a nationally recognized haven for patent trolls, would they?


Having local rules that expedite patent cases isn’t evidence of bias. It’s evidence of efficiency.
