My OP came about simply because of a thought I had while listening to the news coverage and reading DU. I just thought, "Wait a minute! If they haul him off to a military tribunal, WE won't have any access to the trial." I want to know everything that happens in the court, I want to see our justice system at work on this case. I want to know what the witnesses say, I want to hear the victims' statements. I want ALL of it accessible.
And that's precisely what would have been taken away from us, if Graham, McCain, and company had gotten their way. It's not just about taking away Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's rights to a fair and open trial - that's how those hysterical, vindictive assholes roll. But the fact that they also don't seem to give a shit about OUR rights to see and hear the trial is what really pissed me off.
It's just another example of how We the People mean nothing to them. Truth and Justice mean nothing to them. The Constitution means nothing to them. Democracy means nothing to them.
