The Hypocrisy of 'Justice for All' by Bill Moyers

Bill critiques the hypocrisy of "justice for all" in a society that squanders billions on fraudulent wars while neglecting its poor. He specifically highlights the failing legacy of *Gideon v. Wainwright*, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that established the constitutional right to legal representation for indigent criminal defendants.

Despite this foundational right, true justice remains largely inaccessible and unaffordable for the most vulnerable. This report, originally published on March 29, 2013, argues that the promise of "justice for all" remains unfulfilled.
