　あきれた判断である。論理をとおしたつもりであろうが、まったく論理になっていない。なぜなら、そもそも被告の「想定」に論拠を置くことじたい誤りである。「想定」は、当事者の見通しの程度の問題だからである。低きもあれば、月惑星の人間による探査のように人事を尽くした高度の「想定」もある。つまり、当事者の能力如何で、どうにでもなるのが、「想定」である。日本の原子力発電所の立地調査や設置については、これまで多くの粗略な調査と、いわば御都合主義な判断で実施されてきたことが判明している。その粗略さもまた「想定」であったはずだ。
　日本の政治家や官僚等は、自分の失敗の弁明として、伝家の宝刀のように「想定外」と言うが、己が無能だと公言しているようなものだ。そのように、当事者の能力によってどうにでも変化する「想定」を、最高裁判決の根拠とするのは誤りといわなければならない。

　いったい菅野博之裁判長が指揮する法廷の判事たちは、頭を寄せ合って何を論じていたのであろう。このバカげた判断理由を、どれだけの時間をかけて導き出したのだろう。
　先日、新法「侮辱罪」が成立し、施行されることになった。しかしながら、国の根幹を左右する問題に関わる人物の国民に対する言動が、侮辱に価することは多々ある。私は、菅野博之裁判長の第二小法廷判事たちは、烏合の衆のように思えてならない。いや、カラスは頭のいい鳥だ。が、私の比喩を取り違えないでほしい。
　とにかく、この判決は、その判断理由とともに、多くの人たちの「想定外」だったに違いない。日本の司法・行政に、ほとんど伝統的と言ってもよいほど抜き難くある、棄民思想が発露されたようだ。

On the 17th, the Supreme Court's Second Small Court
(Judge Hiroyuki Kanno) ruled that the Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Plant accident evacuees did not accept
the responsibility of the state in for class proceedings
seeking the responsibility of the state did. The reason
was, “The actual earthquake and tsunami were much
larger than expected, and even if a seawall was in-
stalled, it could not be prevented.”

It was a disappointing decision. It's supposed to be
through logic, but it's not logic at all. Because, in the
first place, it is an error to base on the defendant's
〝assumption”. This is because the〝assumption” is a
matter of the degree of outlook of persons con-
cerned. Some are low, while others are highly
“assumed”, such as human exploration of the lunar
planet . In other words, it is an “assumption” that
depends on the abilities of the persons concerned.
It has been found that the location surveys and instal-
lations of nuclear power plants in Japan have been
carried out based on many rough surveys and, so to
speak, opportunistic judgements. That crudeness
must have been, an “assumption” as well.
Japanese politicians and bureaucrats say that they
are “out-assumption” like the treasure sword of the
legendary family (one's best card) as an excuse for
their failure, but it is like proclaiming that they are
incompetent. As such, it must be said that it is an
error to base the Supreme Court decision on the
〝assumption” that changes in any way depending
on the abilities of the parties.

What on earth were the judges in the courtroom
under the direction of Judge Hiroyuki Kanno
arguing with their heads together? How long did
it take to derive this stupid reason for judgement?
The other day, a new law, Insult, was enacted and
will be enforced. However, it is not surprising that the
words and actions of people involved in the issues
that influence the foundation of the country are
insulted.
I must think that Judge Hiroyuki Kanno's second
small court judges are like the people of crows (a
mob). No, crows are smart birds. But don't confuse
my metaphor.
Any way, this ruling must have been “out-assumped”
by many people, along with the reason for the
decision. It seems that the idea of abandonment,
which can be said to be almost traditional, has been
revealed to Japanese judiciary and administration.
