Bandwidth and hosting still cost money, period. And why would 20 be laughable? What would be okay by your book? 50? 100? 1000? 20 per day is fine for most users, how much content are you downloading every single day that it wouldn't be?

Sure, if you don't mind storing stuff and then never reading them again.

That's not the way it works in the rest of the free world. Judges are, by definition, trusted to be impartial interpreters of the law/constitution. That's their role.

The problem is that these judges are appointed through a political process, as about any government worker apparently is. This way you get a hyper politicized country, where even the job of librarian is no longer just a job, but an oppointment that should be strictly controlled.

It's absolutely baffling.

+1 for LaTeX. Did my PhD dissertation in it, wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I prefer Visual Studio Code with a couple of plugins as an editor.
