“he law is a blunt tool and though it makes tall claims of being objective and neutral, in itself, the law is fragile and will not smash patriarchy. Rather, The courts have always favored the power structure and shielded those who are resourceful. The courtrooms, themselves as a symbol of authority, defend the values of supremacy and protect the oppressive and regressive system. However, those on the margins with their conviction and belief in the values of democracy, justice, and the rule of law, need to shake the system. With individual or through collective action the marginalized are challenging the power structure and are compelling the state and the society to make social and political transformation at a larger level. Angela Davis said that “in a racist society it is not enough to be a non-racist. We must be anti-racist”. Similarly, here it may be derived that `in a patriarchal society, it is not enough to be a non-patriarchal. We must be anti-patriarchy’. The women with their sheer will and conviction are marching ahead to smash patriarchy using law as an instrument of change. However, what is required is the radical interpretation of constitutional values by the courts and this should be strengthened by assuring the equal representation of women within the judiciary at all levels to open up the possibility of nondiscrimination within the patriarchal hostile settings.”

“The Fairfax courthouse had made the witness list, along with most other court filings in the case, public on their website. Amber’s witness list included names like Elon Musk and James Franco, but ultimately neither would appear. The case was brought in Virginia; non-Virginian citizens weren’t compelled to give live testimony unless they volunteered to. If the lawyers couldn’t subpoena someone, that was that. Amber’s only in-person witness who was not a paid expert would be her sister, Whitney. Johnny would have at least ten non-expert in-person witnesses appear, which Amber’s camp claimed were all on his payroll.”

“Johnny had nicknames for nearly everyone on the opposing side: Elaine Bredehoft was “Breadsticks”; Benjamin Rottenborn was “Rotten Egg”; Adam Nadelhaft, another lawyer on Amber’s team, was “Nadelcock”; and Elon Musk was “Mollusk.”

“A red-gold glow burst suddenly across the enchanted sky above them as an edge of dazzling sun appeared over the sill of the nearest window. The light hit both of their faces at the same time, so that Voldemort's was suddenly a flaming blur. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he too yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco's wand: "Avada Kedavra!" "Expelliarmus!" The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between them, at the dead center of the circle they had been treading, marked the point where the spells collided. Harry saw Voldemort's green jet meet his own spell, saw the Elder Wand fly high, dark against the sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling, spinning through the air toward the master it would not kill, who had come to take full possession of it at last.”
