Why should it cost $125,000 to defend yourself?

Judges gotta eat, you know.

Ain’t the judges getting it! (at least not above the table)

There ought to be a market for a good DIY legal defense service. That is presuming that the goal is Truth & Justice, not just playing the high cost, high stakes game of “Mother may I” or “Simon says” that passes for court cases these days.

A subscription website with a good decision matrix & flowchart used by a reasonably intelligent person should work.

Ordinary people with access to plans & technical advice can build airplanes in their garages which can fly at 24,000 feet and 330 mph. http://www.lancair.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=71&Itemid=130
Why could someone not also defend themselves?

When I look at some of the idiots in Congress who are lawyers I truly believe that DIY legal defense is a sane option.

Yeah, I know the old adage, “Anyone who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client.” Otherwise known as the “Bar Association Full Employment” slogan.

Are we being charged for slick talk in front of a stupid and/or lazy judge, or is it just the Ivy League Old Boys Club version of “no scabs allowed, you must have a Union Card”?

Is the person behind the bench a judge of right and wrong, guilt or innocence, or are they simply the referee in fancy version of “Professional Wrestling” called “May the Best Lawyer Win”?
