MessageSo, to be "fair" you want the Empire to pay for poor people, and ignore the hard working people who earn their own money? Nothing "fair" at all about it.

What is "fair", is everyone paying their own way, and not mooching off the Empire's over used tax money.

MessageWe quite agree with the Rednecks. We do not condone our tax monies being used to pay for criminals' legal expenses.

MessageNevermind the fact that some innocent people will never get legal representation without this. All who vote against this apparently want the idea of equal protection under the law to be a myth.

Message"Equal protection" surely means all our defence bills should be settled by the state?

ToDebating the Access to Justice Act
MessageNo, it means the law the same way to every person and every person being given a chance to defend themselves in a court, which is hard to do without a lawyer.

FromCovenanters (IA)
ToDebating the Access to Justice Act
MessageIf the state doesn't provide defence lawyers for all defendants then it shouldn't supply them to anyone. Nothing else can claim to be equal or fair.

MessageYes, you're right. We'll propose that immediately.

Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand
