    Trump is definitely guilty, and I agree that he deserves a defense, but unfortunately for him, it kind of goes out the window when he doesn’t respect the laws and courts that give him that right.

    He has the right to a defense, not a good one, and that’s exactly what he’s getting because of his behavior.

      How about, he has a right to the best defense his ego will allow him to have?

      The point is that it should never go out the window. It’s not “you must be this morally upright to receive your rights.” They’re rights. Much to my chagrin, he has them too. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
