Did Rhodes volunteer to be adjudicated against? If he accepted being a client of an attorney, rather than standing in court unrepresented, he actually agreed that the courts have the right to adjudicate his case without him having any say in the matter. If he didn't have representation, but stood present in court, and the judge acted against his standing as a man, he or some of his buddies should be suing the judge or the courts for this illegal act,
