Well, that's just crap. *Anyone* can appear pro se. I cannot imagine a
state that doesn't allow one to represent him/herself. I'd have asked
that judge to show me song and verse in the Code of Civil Procedure
where it says that. "You're Honor, with all due respect (which, of
course, always has a subtitle of "you flaming *ss"), please direct me
to the portion of the Code of Civil Procedure that prohibits me from
representing myself."
