Reply #55: None Of That Even Matters, Does It?

[ProfessorGAC]

It really doesn't matter if he's guilty, to refute the argument of summary judgment.

If we begin acting in a matter that exceeds the traditions of jurisprudence that go back to 13th century England, and were the basis of this country's founding, we are diminished.


This would be true whether he's guilty or not. If he's guilty, and he probably is, then the punishment would follow per our normal procedures of civilized and systematic justice.

A summary execution of a person, not yet tried and convicted in open court of a crime against humanity, makes us as bad as the slime who flew those planes into buildings full of innocent people.

So, it doesn't matter whether there is unassailable proof or not. We just shouldn't go outside our normal operations of justice, or the terrorists end up being right.
