In summary judgments court orders are written by the favoring lawyer so that judge can get rid of the case without reading a word of any filing, and this way the judgment won't reflect judge's lack of understanding of the case. Large law firms contribute to judges' re-election campaigns, and judges rule in their favor to return the favor.

How is a summary conviction even legal if you dont have a right to trial.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Summary judgements are issued by biased judges who know in advance that the party he/she ruled against had a solid case but preferred the other party because *reasons* (Ex. Brownback v King, Petition for Certiorari, Appendix B)
