The reason why the right to representation is fundamental to American law is that your lawyer is meant to protect you from the government. If you are charged with a criminal offense, the government is attempting to assert a penalty on you, and your lawyer is your best line of defense. This is the opposite of socialism; your lawyer keeps you out of the government's control (fines, prison, etc).

However, the right to health care isn't fundamental in American society, because illness is typically inflicted by nature, not the government.

By guaranteeing you a lawyer the government can protect you from its own mistakes. But guaranteeing you a doctor protects you from nature, not from the government. That is why one is libertarian and the other is socialist.

I saw a very very bright object in the sky early in the morning on the 20th and again in the early hours of the 21st. It was far brighter than Sirrus. I tried looking at star charts to see what it could be. It seemed to be in the Canis Minor constellation, but was too bright to be Procyon. Does anyone know if what I saw might have been this comet?
