Assange's current status is that the UK has approved his extradition and he's appealing it. The US did appeal from a previous decision Assange had won blocking the transfer, and it won that appeal something around a year later. Again, if the position is that the whole prosecution is unjust, a mockery of the First Amendment, chilling to journalism and free speech, then fine. But saying the US is responsible for the delay in putting him on trial is strange to me.
