I think it's important for the Wikipedia articles
to reflect that fact
that many Americans take just the attitude you described
above:
that America "does something better than most of the world does" by
"having an independent judiciary that is largely in the hands of
people
who understand the concept of due process of law and even approve of
it"
I see that [[capital punishment in the United States]] quotes a figure of
67% of capital convictions eventually overturned, ''mainly on procedural
grounds''. One can read this either way, of course. Does look like a glass
more than half empty to me, though.
