<< general public and legal experts have very much different
concepts of "justice," and it is very arrogant to accept the latter as the
only valid one, or to assume that people should follow what the experts
tell them is right. >>
And Nazis and Jews have different coinceptions of justice, W. Is it arrogant of the Jews not to give a whole lot of consideration to the Nazi point of view?
Nobody here, least of all me, the lawyer, will wrap himself in the mantle of her expertise and mouth off to the workers on that that basis. But a number of us have been down the other road, where some intellectual's idea of what the workers think is useda as a bludgeon to smash the view of other intellectuals that cannot be beaten on the basis of argument. That is pretty tired too, W, and you are not tapped into the proletarian mind any more than I am, or any less. We would do better discussiong the merits of our positions. Personally, I doubt your supposition that working people do not care about due process, but if they don't, they'[rew just as wrong as if they have racist attitudes--a more plausible claim, from my reading of the evidence.
