> You could argue that courts aren't as accessible in the US as they should be without deep pockets (rightfully so)

Are you saying that it's ok/good for people with less money to have worse access to courts than people with more money? If so, why?

I read the last part of the sentence (rightfully so) in the best case to refer to the argument that courts aren't as accessible as they could be, rather than the current state being right. Ambiguous but probably well meant.

Good catch, I should clarify - one could rightfully argue that free speech is not available to all if the legal system is not affordable to everyone. It’s a serious shortcoming of the justice system.
