>Their ranks include a Greenville lawyer appointed to the bench after siphoning thousands of dollars from accounts he managed; Yeah, OK, so they lead off with a guy who is actually a lawyer and did shady things. I'll give another example: 3 (elected) judges with law degrees who got into a brawl involving pistols at a white castle: https://www.npr.org/2019/11/14/779339897/3-indiana-judges-suspended-after-white-castle-brawl-that-left-2-of-them-wounded https://www.npr.org/2019/11/14/779339897/3-indiana-judges-su... Here's another one: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/29/pneumatic_judge/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/29/pneumatic_judge/ I don't care if a judge has a law degree. Most lawyers I've met in the US are functionally morons anyway. This is just dipshits with a certificate trying to protect their perquisites. I'd honestly rather a barber judge me in a trial than most lawyers, and anyone on here who is trying to make the law so godawful complex it needs an "expert" to interpret it, you're part of the problem.
