Reply #56: Is justice only available to those we deem fit?

Silly me, I thought the right to representation and a fair trial was a universal right we all agreed on.

Many of the people Clark apparently defended were so evil that no one would defend them. It appears that Clark sees upholding the rule of law more important than the opinions of those who don't quite get that EVERYONE accused of a crime deserves a defense, no matter who they are.

It does make it easy for the rightwing to spin his defense of horrible people into his "support and approval of dictators", but then the rightwing are cowardly liars who spin everything anyway.

I actually have to admire someone who can risk everything the way Clark has for a higher ideal. That takes a lot of courage, IMHO.
