Blindfold[edit]
18th-century Lady Justice at the Castellania
Since the 16th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents impartiality, the ideal that justice should be applied without regard to wealth, power, or other status. The earliest Roman coins depicted Justitia with the sword in one hand and the scale in the other, but with her eyes uncovered.[5] Justitia was only commonly represented as “blind” since about the end of the 15th century. The first known representation of blind Justice is Hans Gieng’s 1543 s

The blindfold is a symbol of an IDEAL, to which our justice system should aspire. I agree wholeheartedly with that aspiration.
However, in the real world justice is not always blind, especially in the realm of politics. We need look no further than the Bret Kavanaugh confirmation hearings to find a glaring example of that. Another example is the Mueller investigation into allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 elections, stacked with anti Trump prosecutors.
I don’t understand why you are still arguing the point. Do you believe Kavanaugh is being judged impartially by the Democrat Senate committee members? Do you trust Mueller’s team to be impartial?
