Uh... if you cannot afford a lawyer one will be appointed to you.
Do you understand these rights?
Actually, it would in some regards be more reasonable than socialized medicine. After all, much of the need for lawyers, unlike much of the need for doctors, is created by government. Further, unlike hospitals which are supposed to overtly favor patients at the expense of the pathogens that inhabit them, courts are supposed to represent a fair "playing field" for litigants. Further, if someone is accused but acquitted of a crime, it would seem only "fair" that the government should pay their legal fees (since the government is responsible for having brought the case in the first place).
Of course, there would be many problems with that sort of legal system--too many for it to be anything other than a "bad idea", but there'd be a lot more basis for socialized legal service than for socialized medicine.
but see if we did that Edwards would suffer and not be able to afford his large home and life!
Why should wealthy people (O.J. Simpson comes to mind)be able to buy his way out of murder? Poor people get the luck of the draw when they get a court appointed lawyer. Often it amounts to life or death! I hate most lawyers.
I say we should all have access to plumbers. Let’s hear it for Socialized Plumbing Care.
The ONLY thing good about Communist healthcare is that you can renew you driver’s license, vehicle registration and register to vote while you’re standing in line to speak to a government bureaucrat about maybe seeing a doctor if one is available.
bump.
Single payer food
How dare these toads pay $79 for an entree when there are people suffering!
This plus Loser Pays. That fixes 90% of the problems.
On the horizon? Yes. One should never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.
I hope so. Liberals and lawyers need a taste of their own medicine.
Depends on who wins the Presidency in 2008.
Go Rush go!
No because the purpose of local government is to see to it that you are guilty of some offense that you can be fined for as a means of paying taxes without calling them taxes.
Universal Legal Care would mean the government paying someone to keep you from paying the government. Not gon’ happen.
Everybody should get free attorneys for lawsuits *and* free attorneys for defending against lawsuits. What could go wrong?
