Mitch, I know I need not underline this for you, but in a democratic society, everyone has the right to counsel, regardless of their cause or political affiliation. This principle must be protected to ensure that justice remains accessible to all and that no individual or entity is placed above the law. The legal profession must be allowed to operate freely, without fear of political reprisal, to safeguard the integrity of our judicial system and uphold the Constitution. Anything short of this would destroy the USA as we know it.
