Listen "Can One Obstruct Justice in a Place it Doesn’t Exist?"
Episode Synopsis
The philosophical essay by philosopher Bry Willis, "Can One Obstruct Justice in a Place it Doesn’t Exist?" critiques the concept of "justice" as applied to the US immigration system, particularly in the context of ICE raids. The author argues that obstructing such operations is not truly obstructing justice, but rather disrupting bureaucratic violence that masquerades as legal process. The text contends that the American justice system has become a "simulation" of fairness, serving state power and economic interests rather than genuine equity. Ultimately, the piece suggests renaming the charge of "obstruction of justice" to reflect its true nature, such as "Obstruction of Procedure" or "Obstruction of the Industrial Deportation Complex™".https://philosophics.blog/2025/06/13/can-one-obstruct-justice-in-a-place-it-doesnt-exist/
