Justice denied. Or at least defense. Some guy to argue for lower bail does not amount to an adequate defense.

yes.


We can easily imagine other ways in which your statement would apply. Other ways that, just possibly, might be in the news right now.

"We don't have sufficient funds in the budget to build a wall and to pay for the land that we are seizing, so I'm afraid the landowners aren't going to get just compensation."

Quirt, my first reaction to your post was HairRaising OMG good point!
