Criticising the Judiciary is apparently a most severe Overton Window, it places you beyond the pale as a disbeliever in Law & Order, of Democracy itself, even when it's blatantly obvious that it's being manipulated against the very principle of democratic justice. If the Justice System is shown to be compromised, it undermines the whole Establishment, which is why any criticism is stamped hard on, just like that last Assange Judge, pulling-up Assange with vindictive petty personal remarks, & effectively punishing Assange even more ,for the criticism of the previous Judge he faced. For a defense lawyer, it's a Catch-22 situation, you can't criticise the very Court that you are hoping to sway !
