This kind of an obvious question, but what specifically does Snowden think is unfair about our courts?  Evading taxes, leaking confidential national security information -- I think it's totally reasonable to challenge the legitimacy and ethics of these laws.  But it's hard to challenge the *existence* of these laws, or claim the government doesn't have a reasonable argument that these laws were in fact broken.  The only way to blame the courts would be to assert that these laws don't in fact don't exist and/or are obviously not being broken.

I think he should reserve his ire for the Legislative and Executive branches for creating and enforcing laws they feel are unjust, not the Courts for doing (what seems like) a pretty decent job of trying to evaluate them.
