There, they cut through two more barbed wire fences and went inside, putting up banners, scattering sunflower seeds and praying until they were arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Federal prosecutors argued that the protesters had &#8220;crossed a line.&#8221; The protesters violated the rights of the people on base whose activities they disturbed and placed themselves and others at great risk, prosecutors said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So they got terms in the federal pound from three to fifteen months.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The defendants, however, maintained that nuclear warheads stored at the base and on submarines there are illegal under international, national and humanitarian law. Settle prohibited them from using international law and the lethality of nuclear weapons as a defense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We went to the base to uphold a higher law,&#8221; Kelly said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Which higher law is that? The one that doesn&#8217;t get people sent to prison? That crazy hippie law which says whatever you want it to say today?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The judge ordered Kelly to be taken to prison immediately. Settle was going to allow the other defendants to report to prison next month, but when they told the judge they might not show up, he ordered them to be taken to prison immediately.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Smooth move, Exlax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See those folks above?
