The Counsel Paradox — justice you can't afford isn't justice
From Make America Dream Again — the ethos under the house. One human's voice. No lying.
A right you can't reach is a rumor of a right. You're promised your day in court, then handed a bill that costs more than the thing you came to defend — so the door is technically open and practically locked. That's the paradox: the people who most need the law are the ones priced out of it, and "represent yourself" is what a system says when it has quietly decided you don't count. So this clause sides with the pro se, the broke, the unrepresented, and the legal-aid lawyer working the night shift for free. Justice that only the funded can buy isn't justice — it's a subscription. Fight for the version everyone can afford, because solve for human includes the human who can't make rent on their own rights.
