Jim Harbaugh calls out Donald Trump on Twitter over budget cuts to legal services

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is no stranger to voicing his opinion, and that’s especially true when it comes to his Twitter account. Most recently, the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum was caught in the head coach’s crosshairs.

The latest target for Harbaugh is now the one and only President Donald Trump. On Tuesday morning, he took to Twitter to express his disapproval regarding Trump’s new budget proposal, which could reportedly eliminate the Legal Services Corporation, the largest funder of civil legal assistance for low-income Americans.

3. I do not know this person at all, but they are 100% correct.

My mother worked for LSC for many years and they did so many good things for the lower income people in the city of St. Louis.
Groups like this is what makes America great. On the ground doing good work for the people who cannot get help otherwise.

4. This is the first decent, likable thing Harbaugh has ever done

9. Right?

I can be honest and say both he and his brother are really, really good coaches, but man are they insufferable douchebags.

5. As a Seahawks fan we used to make quite a few jokes at Harbaugh's expense

At least when he was coaching the 49ers. But I'll give him kudos for calling out Trump.

15. Harbaugh must think Trump cares about fair ........... Trump cares about Trump

16. Perhaps someone with expertise in Constitutional law, and how it pertains to basic criminal law...

...could help out a bit?

The way I see it, and I freely admit I could be wrong:

- This defunding will result in fewer legal aid lawyers being available.

- Legal aid is very often the only legal assistance available to many defendants.

- Fewer lawyers in an already greatly stretched system could well result in defendants having no representation available to them.

- Constitutionally-mandated representation lacking, some cases will be kicked because due process is thus lacking.

Is this a reasonable view?
