Why even bother to have a court system or a Duma?

It is oddly comforting to see that the re-born Russian Justice system (Just Us) is as rife with chronyism as we have here in the U.S. There is a universal truth at play here "Might makes Right"...Political appointees hold the party line and raid ex-President's homes. Party members may sequester privileged e-mails in their homes. Riots destroy entire sections of the Party's cities, with few arrests. Still, they decry opposition protests and throw the accused in jail without their day in court for over a year. We do not hear about shop lifting and carjacking in Moscow. Would you want to share a little with us? It would seem that there is no universal rule of law....just rulers and the laws they choose to enforce. Thank you for your important information.
