The courts are corrupt.
Don't people say like govt politicians... judges and courts paid for by tickets, force, etc. But they have more fun by deciding either way.
First of all the courts are open to the public. Secondly, both sides are represented in the courtroom.
No! FISC, gitmo, grand jury, jury, warrant, sealed ex parte en camera, corporations without attorneys banned, "practicing law" including appointing your "layman yet better than you at pro se" friend as attorney, trying to go pro se in shit PD capital cases, probate, family, mental, etc.
The issue of inadequate public defenders who aren't willing to buck the system is indeed an issue.
Public defender is a license to stardom for those with balls, at least until judges arbitrarily revoke PD's access to practice in their court. Then there's all the freeman, sovereign, right to travel (drive), jury nullification etc sort of folks experimenting with the system. Youtube is full of fun there.
