They're trying so desperately to make their "trials" reminiscent of the revolutionaries of the 18th century.
But the revolutionaries stood for principles and ideals well laid out and reasoned through. Those ideals held possibility (even deeply flawed as it was) for the inclusion and equality not only of citizens but for anyone else who sought a better life. They laid these principles out after trying to realize them while still under a crown so that future generations would understand, follow and build on the ideals, creating a nation for all.
The insurrectionists stand for what? The right to act badly and outside the parameters and the very laws they march to enforce? The right to depose anyone who didn't garner their approval? The right to flaunt federal law at the doorsteps of their government?
They are pathetic, they are self-serving, they are willing martyrs to a non-cause and history...history is the one place where the truth will eventually be told.
