Not so much argument as a feeble (and ultimately pointless) attempt to point out the stupidity.
A good example might be: worrying about copyright claims while the protestors are busily shutting down our economy.
The protestors' claims get more and more preposterous -- I can only hope that's a long-term pro-TMT strategy. My favorite so far is "they need to post a bond in case they stop construction" but now I'm thinking the new "fair market value for that lease is more than $1M/year" sounds closer to the truth.
At this point I'm more interested in "an outcome", regardless of what it is, just so long as the issues are settled. I really need to know if we're not doing the whole "rule of law" thing so I can smuggle in a few unregistered firearms, stockpile some ammunition, install more security cameras, add more barbed wire to the fence, plant crops that have a high barter value, etc.
