Kangaroo Court Looming for Y-12 Nuclear Weapons Critics

[Cal Carpenter]

24. "National Security" has been used as an excuse for all sorts of

unconstitutional things in the last 12 years or so. Well, further back than that, but at unprecedented levels lately. So that argument doesn't work. Acting like our so-called justice system is fair is either naive or totally disingenuous.

As for a scorecard? Not worth the paper it is printed on, as very few candidates on either side of the aisle support significant disarmament measures. Change on this scale does not come from the ballot box. Just look at history. Politicians have to be dragged kicking and screaming to any real change to the status quo when it comes to defense, economics, etc. They are the last to join the bandwagon after people's movements have done all the work and given them no choice.

The greatest changes in this nation have come, in part, from citizens who are willing to break the law and risk arrest, jail time, police beatdowns, and sometimes even death, to draw attention and increase public support.

Do you support disarmament? Do you hate 82 year old nuns who have the courage to do stuff like this? Just asking, as long as loaded, irrelevant questions are on the table and all.
