Of course it's not easy telling emotionally responsive individuals that both their cultural and legal positions are separately flawed.  That it wouldn't matter whether their conclusions were correct, incorrect, right, or wrong, because their traditional vestments are culturally flawed, and therefore, their legal arguments under the Hawaii State Constitution terminally flawed.  If only the protesting leaders had been truly culturally competent enough to satisfy fundamental legal compliance. There instead would have been a constructive and illuminating adverse proceeding had by all despite the outcome.  Too, the State Supreme Court would have had critical issues before it needing decision that impact vexing issues concerning native recognition, self-determination, and sovereignty.  But instead, we have only the issue of social utility screaming through the proceedings.  Aue.
