Actually, the piece of the section you selected is quite vague, and the section read in totality clearly contemplates the continuation of a court system.

But I'm not defending that crazy thing. Speaking generally, the libertarian principles most people who call themselves libertarians favor include the maintenance of minimal protections necessary to preserve property and individual rights from interference. That requires a court system.

You knew that already.
Sure, but I was pointing out that all decision-making is either collective or individualist. A court system is both a check on unbridled collectivism and is itself a collective enterprise. What's more collectivist than a jury trial? Libertarians can't harmonize a "court system" with their views. At best, they like judges who are Philosopher Kings. Think any will get elected if they're honest about that?
