From the 9th Circuit -- Wow!

The Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals is the most liberal Federal appeals court.  That's why today's ruling on the right to counsel for illegal aliens facing deportation is so interesting.  According the Ninth Circuit, people facing deportation in an immigration case do not have the right to a government provided attorney.  If they want attorneys, they can hire them, but only at their own cost.

This is important.  It means that the countless illegal aliens across the land will not be able to flood the courts with deportation cases and then delay and delay again in order to clog up the system.

The law must be very clear on this point.  Otherwise, the 9th Circuit would have don't major contortions to get the opposite result.
