Let's appoint a layman.

I'd be better on the Supreme Court than the conservative justices. Even though I'm a layman. With no law or judicial background. That's what would make me a better justice. I'd have a different perspective. Which is exactly what the court needs. Balance. A fresh approach. Including a layman member or two. Sometimes, lawyers and judges are too full of baloney and legalese. Jargon that the common citizen doesn't understand. I'd drop the legal terms. And use practical, understandable English. And common sense. And I'd act less like a politician. Of course, I have no chance of being appointed. But I'm sure there are amply qualified laymen. Intelligent. More qualified than most experienced lawyers and judges. --Jim Broede
