"That's it..." Edward pondered for a moment, "It seems that we can only take legal means. This case is not big, but in terms of nature, it's quite bad."

"Yes! Very bad!" The two fruit lovers nodded together, and their posture was really very energetic.

"Okay, then the next thing is my business scope." After the general policy is settled, the next step is to specific tactical steps, which is the most valuable and professional place for lawyers.

Edward's mind was very fast and he instantly gave two solutions.

One is active, the other is passive.

Let’s talk about passiveness first and take a defensive position: as long as a person is punished for violating this law, Edward will defend him/her from a constitutional perspective.

But Edward himself prefers offensive practice. As long as the bill is published, he, as an attorney, immediately filed a lawsuit against the legality of the ordinance from a constitutional perspective.

As he always believes, offense is the best defense. Instead of defending his client, it is better to let the opponent become the defendant first. Regardless of whether it is scattered, you will come forward and beat him out.

I have to say that this very bad routine is very effective. At least Ruthberg admitted that the offensive practice will be more effective and more in line with her always aggressive behavior in court.

Looking at her eager to try, Edward felt that when he really came to court, Ruthberg wanted to go to court to start a massacre.

Although the Federal Park Service also has a large number of "legal counsel" (government lawyers), this is not a rich yamen. The lawyer's level is average, and most of them are here to plaster. If you really meet Ruthberg...

Edward thought there would be a tragedy.

The master and apprentice reached an agreement.

But driven by the lawyer's professional ethics, Edward still truthfully informed the other party of the advantages and disadvantages of the two solutions.

Although the offensive plan is refreshing, its disadvantages are also obvious, it takes a long time and is very long...

Cases involving the Constitution are troublesome, and the prosecution target is a federal government agency. Although the lawyers who are not very capable, they are professionals at least. They may be almost there to go to court, but they will try every means to drag the lawsuit through reasonable methods to consume patience in appealing.

For example, the jurisdiction principle is that the lawsuit in Massachusetts is under the jurisdiction of the Second Circuit Court, but the Federal Park Service is in Washington, so it can also require a special circuit court to be tried.

Others include temporary replacement of lawyers, requesting more detailed information for prosecution, etc., anyway, these guys are paid, and they wish the case would be delayed as long as possible.

But the residents of Trulo Town cannot wait. You should know that this decree is still valid during the trial, which means that everyone may not be able to walk around naked for five years.

And there is also a hidden concern that if the Federal Park Service loses, they will definitely hand over the paper to the High Court. According to the general judges' tempers that always like to pay attention to cases related to the Constitution, this case will most likely be accepted by them.

After the case is entered into the Supreme Court, it is normal to delay it for a few more years.

This is obviously unacceptable.

As for the defensive strategy, it is not that troublesome.

Suppose Steve was fined $25 for running naked, either he would pay the fine on the spot or he could go to the local lower court to sue, who could open a trial at will.

Then, as a defense lawyer, Edward can attack hard. Such judges in lower courts who specialize in handling small fines were all poor students back then. Being a judge would make a living, and his business ability was a mess and he would definitely not be able to beat a Yale elite like him.

The judge can of course force the sentence, and Steve must pay a fine.

But after that Edward can appeal, whether he goes to the Second Circuit Court or the Special Circuit Court, his initiative is his own.

Moreover, the subject of prosecution will be reduced a lot in terms of difficulty from the previous "statutes that violate the spirit of the Constitution" to the "judgment of the spirit of the Constitution".

The trouble with the former is that we must fundamentally argue that the "Prohibition of Fruit Order" is illegal, which seems simple, but in actual operation, we will encounter many professional obstacles. The prosecution and defense will fight in court about the similarities and differences in the legislative concepts of the founding sages in the court, and quote each other from classics to show that the other party is absurd and arrogant. Although it is satisfying, the workload is huge.

The latter is much simpler, just prove that this specific behavior is unconstitutional.

It means that there is an extra practical grasp, which will save Edward a lot of effort. The disadvantage is that the scene will be dull, but the efficiency is amazing. If you are lucky, you can end the battle in two or three trials.

Considering comprehensively, of course you have to choose the latter. After all, the time saved can be spent on your teacher. Isn’t that good?

Ruthberg is indeed quite fragrant. She has the habit of using perfume, but after Edward went to her house, he found that the shower gel shampoos used by Ruthberg were all fragrant-free, but after bathing, she had a faint and particularly pleasant smell on her body...

Ruthberg fully agrees with his analysis.

After discussing with each other, Steve and Lee said tragically: "Is it necessary to stump civil disobedience?"

Civil disobedience refers to the act of intentionally violating minor laws to express protest.

Edward nodded, “I’m afraid I can only do this…”

"God, I have never even been driving and speeding in my life... I am a decent person and have always abide by the law..." Steve wailed, "Now I am going to be fined for the tradition that has lasted for decades. What kind of world is this!"

Lee Bucksander was calmer than him, but he also had a heart-felt expression.

They are decent middle class and have never had the idea of ​​breaking the law.

"Li, it seems that for freedom, we can only do this..."

"Yes, Steve, I think we have no choice..."

The two of them held their hands tightly together, both of them stared at each other's eyes, and then hugged them warmly...

Edward held his forehead and sighed: "Isn't it just a mercy? What do you think you are going to participate in the Tokyo raid by Doolittle..."

"Two, I have to remind you, if you really plan to do this, you'd better get more people, of course not too many. I think it's a relatively suitable number for less than ten people." Ruthberg reminded.

"Well, Steve, then just eight people, four of you here, four of you here, four of me here."

"Okay, four men and four women, this is more in line with the principle of gender fairness." Steve Williams thought very thoughtfully. "By the way, you have to have all kinds of skin colors!"

"I wish you, uh... no, I wish you success..." Edward issued an order to expel guests.

That night, he slept in the study, and his heart was filled with no trouble.

On the one hand, it is because this case is really fun.

On the other hand, after the two left, he took the mother and daughter to town for dinner. Judys was holding Ruthberg's hand tightly along the way.

Look at this look, you must not have any fantasies tonight.

Anyway... the day is long.

There were two months of summer vacation, and Ruth Berg was willing to live in Cape Cod until school started. Of course, her reason was very good. "I think Judy would like the sea and the beach. She has never been to the sea. This time she should let her play with it thoroughly..."

Everything looks pretty good, doesn't it?

It was past nine o'clock the next morning, because it was vacation, Edward slept soundly.

However, he was awakened by the inexplicable huge buzz and noise.

His mother cursed and lifted the blanket, walked out of the room angrily, trying to find this guy who was disturbing his dreams. The sound sounded like three lawn mowers were starting work at the same time, and he was also sleeping in a mess. You must know that the beach is coming outside the window...

The situation left him stunned...

Cape Cod is a relatively remote town with very good public security, so it is particularly quiet.

But now...

There was at least one helicopter in the sky and two small single-engine aircraft hovering back and forth...

"??It's the police and the air-space joint pursuit?" This kind of thing is very common in New York. Helicopters and police cars are enough to force any criminal to a state of panic. In the end, they either hit or plunged into a dead end. He still didn't wake up and thought he was in New York for a moment.

"No, it seems that the Federal Park Service is coming..." Ruthberg sighed from the side. It was obvious that she was awakened by the noise. It was obvious that she was angry at the naked eye to get up, which made her face look very bad.

"???!!" Edward rubbed his face desperately, and finally woke up from his semi-sleepwalking state.

Looking around again, I found that it had changed a lot...

Not only are there planes in the sky.

The ground is also lively.

Some policemen were patrolling on high-headed horses, and there were also ATVs patrolling not far away.

And their inspection route... Well, Edward saw Ruthberg holding a telescope in his hand, so he leaned over from behind, skillfully tucked her waist with his hands, and put his head on her shoulder "What are you looking at?"

"I have taught Judy to play with a knife. You'd better be careful. She is more talented than I did in this regard... If her height and age are stabbed on your butt, you will only bleed in vain..." As of this, I'd better hand the glasses in front of him.

"fxxk" Edward looked over his glasses and immediately blurted out the national curse. On the top of the large sand dune that the locals were proud of, there were a few more mobile houses.

He recognized this thing, the scientific name is the radio monitoring post, which is set up at a high place. The information of aircraft, vehicles, and mount police is summarized here, and then it will issue orders and command and dispatch.

"Is this going to fight a world war?" He was indignant. "Is it using so much high-tech to deal with a group of unbearable residents who are harassed by gay men? Is this the Federal Park Service or the FBI? If I were so diligent in dealing with the Russians, I guess kgb might go bankrupt because of too much funeral subsidy..."

It’s not his fault for talking trash, this situation is indeed a bit too much.

To deal with unarmed civilians, is it necessary to have a trinity of sea, land and air?

By the way, there are several speedboats on the sea, obviously for the fruit swimmers.

"I understand why federal funds are always insufficient, and officials always ask Congress to increase budget..." Ruthberg couldn't help but say strange things, which is very rare in normal times.

"Has Cape Cod become Normandy?" Edward was shocked.

This kind of joint dispatch of sea, land and air, plus advanced electromagnetic power, to be honest, I know that in the early 1990s, a major power in the East was not so generous in military exercises...

And in the United States, it is actually used to deal with naked people...

Steve Williams and Lee Bucksander rushed over from afar.

Edward continued to maintain his posture, apparently swearing sovereignty to a guy of Italian descent.

"Ed..." Ruthberg was a little embarrassed. In New Haven, both of them had more excessive actions than this, but this intimacy was exposed to others for the first time.

Edward thought that he had to maintain his hypocritical lawyer status at the moment, so he coughed, let go of his paws, and shouted to the two men from afar, "Good morning, gentlemen."

He had to shout loudly, because the roar of the helicopters in the sky was too loud.

Steve Williams had a good look, obviously he had witnessed everything just now, but the Apennine men had always been open-minded about it and quickly left Ruthberg behind. After all, this is Cape Cod, and some of the big girls in the flesh are...

"Damn it, this bastard Lawrence Hadley, is really here..." Lee Bucksander was obviously furious. "He is demonstrating to us again, and this is a demand to oppress freedom under the guise of the law!"
To be continued...
