How is this only a matter for the courts?
What this is all about is the laws of Taijitu, Taijituan principles, etc that applies to everyone, not just Gov and the courts.
It's everyone's duty and right to voice their opinions about happenings in the region. We are supposed to be promoting democracy after all, and what's a democracy if you don't listen to what the people have to say?
I think that more than makes it a matter for open discussion. Durnia's assumption could have been made even if there wasn't this open discussion about it. I have a feeling assumptions and opinions would likely come about anyway.
