Is legal services a right or a privilege? 
In our current political climate where health care is not viewed as a right especially for our elderly and most vulnerable,  it is hard for me to believe that legal services are a right for all.  It's like devos and conservatives that want to defund and eliminate public schools.  Is a decent education a right in our current political climate?  And the answer I hear from conservatives is less government involvement is the answer and that charities should fill the gap.  So with that logic, why is this a big deal?  Attorneys will work pro-bono and provide legal services to people that can't pay, so why put government money towards this?
