I'm coming from a perspective that the constitution of the united states is nothing but a farce unless you're rich enough to defend your rights in court.

What is the purpose of having "rights" if I have to pay to fight for them? It's not a right then if institutions can trample on them as such.

(When the offense against you is criminal, it [is/may be] the government that foots the bill for prosecuting it. For instance, this is how it works with the Department of Labor when you report wage theft to them.)

What alternative do you propose? That we give up on the concept of rights entirely? Without offering constructive suggestions, it seems like you're letting perfect be the enemy of good.
