On Friday, we were able to peacefully and civilly conclude Trial 2. Its topic was as follows: "Interest groups are hereby charged with misleading the public as it it tries to understand important political issues. These tactics bring serious harm to democracy in the United States."
The defense brought forth its final witness, a Sierra Club member, and argued that interest groups play an important role in a democracy by protecting the rights of the minority. The prosecution presented its witnesses, including a former Sierra Club member, an NRA member (who did not help the prosecution's case), and an ordinary citizen who did not belong to an interest group. The Prosecution argued that interest groups should be disbanded because they allow a loud minority to overpower the will of the majority and are thus bad for democracy. The defense was awarded the victory by the jury and the constitution's view of interest groups was upheld.
