My attorney told me the cost for a client to go to federal court is about $50,000 ln attorney fees and other expenses. If true very few average citizens have that kind of money to advance to an attorney in order to appeal a bureaucratic decision. Plus, given the hundreds of anti gun federal judges appointed by Obama, what are the odds a leftist judge will rule in favor of a citizen, much less order the government to pay attorney fees?

We have reached the point where the legal system is not affordable for most average citizens. The legislative and executive branches of government have given up the fight for liberty and are now enablers of oppression. Access to the judiciary is unaffordable and even when the citizen attempts an appeal, the government can drag out the process for years. Even a successful appeal is not justice if it takes three or for years to be realized. During the appeal process the citizen has been denied freedom without due process. That time can never be recovered.

Susan Collins and the other “moderate” Republican Senators know they are eviscerating due process. They are statists, not friends of Liberty.

Slim to none. Same for the other judges too.

No government fights for liberty. The function of government is to diminish liberty.
