I have a less jaded view. My rights are set forth in a document we refer to as the Constitution of our Republic.

Are the powers that be embroiled in seemingly constant effort to reverse those personal freedoms given to the citizens? Sure.

However, a voting populace that expects better treatment generally gets it.

You're right, but that applies once you get an expensive lawyer, only.

One of the great strengths of a populace gifted with civil rights is an abiding belief that those rights belong to them. No law or condition of government can abridge an ingrained belief in individual rights.

Would I rather be a wealthy defendant than a poor one? A no-brainer, sure, but when you no longer believe that basic rights are afforded to you, you have already lost.
