So, failure to uphold the law is a Good Thing?

And asking if you're arguing that the trial was a show trial is not the same thing as asking you if you were arguing that the trial was a show trial?

Wowa.

You can have the last word.

And asking if you're arguing that the trial was a show trial is not the same thing as asking you if you were arguing that the trial was a show trial?

Uhh, the English language uses words for a purpose. You asked ""Are you arguing that William Jennins Bryan put on a show trial for the ACLU?"". You did not ask me if I was arguing that the trial was a show trial. I did answer using your description of the trial and explained what relationship WJB had to the trial. If you had asked me "Did you eat eggs for breakfast today" and I answered "No, I did not eat eggs for breakfast today", you cannot ascertain whether I even ate breakfast. Secondly, I related that laws are broken and no trials ensue. That is a statement of fact and does not convey my feelings one way or the other.
