The most important point for the defendant, is his right in court to question his accuser, on the stand under oath/affirmation. Who is the accuser on the indictment? Oh yes, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. --- I don't want to question the representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. They are not my accusers. At best, they might be some kind of witness. But I want to question my accuser, as allowed by law. I want to let him/her tell me how I have injured him/her, so that I can pay for his/her injuries, so we can be even. We don't even know that there were injuries, because my accuser, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, wasn't even honorable enough to let me know ahead of time that I was hurting him/her. VIVA VOCE, from my accuser, from the stand. Nothing else.

Oh, by the way. Regarding the comment below. If my accuser, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, doesn't get on the stand and testify, my compensation from him/her for time wasted and for hardship from the arrest is $1 billion in gold. But if he/she simply dismisses the case, $10 billion in gold.
