All people are entitled to legal representation.

I must've missed the memo on that. I hardly consider lawyers obligated to donate their time to advancing points of law that they know are incorrect.

Can't help you there since you seem to be replying to a point I didn't make. I said all people hae a right to legal representation. I never said they all had a right to free representation but if a firm is doing pro bono work and a gifted atty has particular skills in an area of the law the litigant needs there is often a good match.

One, if one is to act as an adult, one must never make the perfect the enemy of the good. John Roberts may well have represented a gay rights group. Gay people do have rights and since the particulars of this matter have only been made known in the MSM one would be ill-advised to make that the last word on the subject.
