re: #97 Obdicut

What a totally false analogy. She wouldn’t be like a neurosurgeon without any training, even in that analogy. She’d be someone who was an MD and had done theoretical research into neurosurgery and taught it at a high level, had assisted doctors who had performed it, but hadn’t actually performed it herself.

The judges on the Supreme Court do not have the same responsibilities as judges on other trials, either.

Even if we accept your diluted analogy for argument’s sake, would you want a neurosurgeon with those credentials drilling into YOUR brain?
