The legislative branch is our main issue, not necessarily the judicial system. Our judicial issues come mostly from the fact that our legislative branch has expanded government to the point that it has the courts constantly involved by extension. People wouldn't be in courts so much if there weren't so many laws keeping us in them. Our courts weren't really designed to handle huge government because we weren't supposed to have a huge government. Our courts actually work surprisingly well given how abused they are by the state, in my opinion. There are exceptions, of course. Our courts just weren't designed to fix things broken by the legislature since they are restrained by law by design. They can only really do that if a law violates the Constitution.

We also have a federal court system which is different than the ones most Americans see in their respective states. The national scope is what tends to lead to more centralized abuse. It's a lot harder for a prosecutor or court in California, for example, to fuck with me in a different state. It's really easy for a federal one to fuck with me.
