So SCOTUS sided with Trump on the travel ban, in part. That only makes sense to put a stop to the ridiculous misuse of legal precedent to make to country unsafe for a little political mileage. Why are the conservatives gloating. It isn’t like a major victory was won. Every one of those judges that decided to block all of the president’s actions on national security because he said things during the campaign that offended them knew it was judicial overreach. I am only glad we are not paying for their one-upmanship already. It is only a matter of time to see if any terrorists slipped in while they held the door open.
But let’s become civil now. It has been over six months since Trump took office and the country is still in operation. Congress is still the opposite of progress. And the Supreme Court of the United States is still reducing the rights of American citizens at home. Did you know that you do not have a right to an attorney in post conviction (that means after the appeal is exhausted) procedures? SCOTUS has ruled that a lawyer can wreck your chances of obtaining justice once the appeal is over and you have no recourse. Just have to suffer.
When a lawyer represents a client in a court of law, it is an awesome responsibility. The court cannot entertain any communications, motions, etc. from the litigant except through the attorney. They are the gatekeepers of your so called right to access to the court. If the lawyer doesn’t like the client or is lazy or negligent, the client’s life and the lives of those who rely on him/her are ruined. Do lawyers care? I don’t know. From my experience, I would say no. So what can be done about it? I’m open to suggestions.
