Wednesday is Haiku Day

In the Bill of Rights
The plain language does not grant
self-representing.

It's hard to put a civics lesson in Haiku form.

Anyway, the Sixth Amendment grants the right of assistance of counsel, but does not expressly provide that a person can represent one's self. As such, one might argue, there is no Constitutional right to represent yourself in a criminal case.

Turkey Day will soon
be here. Have some turkey and
some beer, or near bear.
