也请大家不要因此作出错误判断
and partake in an inquisition.

成为异端审判的一员
Inquisition? How dare you?

异端审判此话何意
Sounds to me like we have the enemy among us.

看来我们中有内敌啊
Maryland not being among our most loyal of states during the war,

马里兰州在战争中就不在我们一方
its senator ought to certify his allegiance to this court.

州参议员就更应该表明自己的立场

我堂堂司法部长尽职尽责
That is certification enough.

这还不足以证明我的立场吗

不过我们仍需要辩护律师
to sign this oath of loyalty

签署这份效忠宣誓
as prescribed by Congress.

这是国会的规定

我也是国会的一员
