      That doesn’t mean she knows everything about the law. Any judge would be able to admit that. That’s why they have specialities like family court, or criminal court, copyrights, etc.

        Dude, you think you know more about the law than she does because you were a wedding photographer in New York before gay marriage was legal.

        I don’t even know what you think qualifies someone to be a judge but I’m glad it isn’t that.
