26. Yes - an "average" lawyer. Whether others agree or not, I think that...
judges should be the cream of the crop of available lawyers. I don't want their becoming a judge to be where they've become incompetent. (The Peter Principle.) As we can see with B* and his cronies, much damage can be done when someone's incompetent. I feel that the position of judge is an important position in our society that needs the best people that we can find to fill the positions.

I don't understand your analogy of the doctor. Nobody's dying here. I have the luxury of being selective.

I'm probably going to go with the "average" Democrat hoping that the person will be able to do a good job. The person's not incompetent as a lawyer -- just average.
