Who cares whether a judge issued the judgement? The fact is that most of the poor cannot take time off to travel to a courthouse at an appointed date and time, thus those judgements are entered without any defense.<p>It shouldn&#x27;t come as a shock that the poorest citizens are the least likely to show up to a hearing where they will be forced to pay money.<p>Even from a strictly legal perspective, detainment for a civil judgement based upon evidence from a massive domestic surveillance dragnet is very Constitutionally suspect.<p>But to be totally honest, I don&#x27;t care what legal mechanisms allow this.<p>It is simply wrong.
