Kevin Kruse is kind of great… I heard him at a conference at Emory once… I think he got into it with one of the audience members as we was discussing his current work, which I believe was on the conservative movement…

That’s a weak argument even if the legal system were just. In the face of the obvious systemic injustice that exists, it becomes nothing more than an excuse for the indefensible.
