Fine, but "injunction" isn't one of those words.

Well, de novo was clear enough to be mentioned by the Justice who did not do it. BTW if you do not have personal counsel in court proceedings and a judgement is made concerning you, has due process been achieved?

The whole point to these sorts of proceedings is to determine what people who can't speak for themselves would say if they could speak for themselves. Your next-of-kin and the guardian ad litem, if any, are presumed to be acting on your behalf - their counsel is your counsel. Now, if you want to change the nature of due process to require something else, be my guest, but I predict you'll encounter far more resistance than you think. People are simply not that interested in the state intruding any further into those sorts of decisions.
