Kangaroo Court Looming for Y-12 Nuclear Weapons Critics

[PETRUS]

39. You've made an incorrect assumption.

I didn't say anything about whether or not they should be convicted or even the question of sentencing. I'm talking about the court proceedings. By design and by definition the courts are part of our political system. This was a political act. The prosecution is attempting to mask that and have it treated as a strictly criminal question. Fine, their role is to advocate, they're just doing their job. The question is how the judge will rule. When we were discussing it last night, my lawyer relative was careful to say that there could be details/technicalities that factor in, but all we had to go on is the article. So the conversation on this thread is more a political than a legal discussion and one's position is largely dependent upon personal views, e.g. how one feels about the cause, or whether one's impulses tend more towards authoritarianism or democracy. You and I clearly have different worldviews.
