I hope you’re just being intentionally obtuse. I hope your question isn’t serious.

That said:

They’re not interested in their day in court.
They’re not interested in their rights as citizens.

What they want is to tear the system down by overloading it.

He even directly quotes this woman as saying she wants to break the system down by overloading it.

And this is a tactic straight out of Saul Alinsky and Occupy Wall Street.

Alinsky told his followers to make the system go through every channel and follow every rule because no system could stand up to the stress.

OWS has adopted this tactic. Occupiers have discussed crashing the housing system by refusing to pay their mortgages. They have discussed trying to collapse the student loan program by refusing to pay their loans. Last year, they had Frances-Fox Piven (whatever the hell her name is) as a speaker. Back in the 60’s she coauthored a paper where she suggested crashing the welfare system by putting everyone on it.

So now we have this guy writing in the New York Times about how “horrified” he is that someone would suggest breaking down the court system this way. But then he goes on to toy with the idea.

And if you missed all of this, I’m left wondering if you even read the article.

One of the worst things about America in 2012 is that the left is getting away with playing these kinds of games with people like you.

Libs are playing people like you like you’re fiddles. And while you’re arguing that you’re not a fiddle, you’re a cello - you’re missing my overall point that you’re being played.

Unfortunately for your argument, the Constitution guarantees us our day in court. Suggesting as you do that encouraging the accused to excercise their rights is an attack on the system doesn’t pass the smell test unless you propose changing the Constitution.
