I figure anyone who wants to sit in judgement of others has got to have some serious issues. Based on this notion, some time back, I came up with:
Fickman’s Maxim on Judicial Qualifications. The Maxim states,
” Anyone who seeks to be a judge,
By definition, is not qualified to be a judge”
As a spin off of the Maxim, whenever someone tells you they are running for judge, tell them
” I’m sorry but you are not qualified. Come back when you are someone else”
I like to end it there. The ” someone else” would be someone who wasn’t seeking to be a judge.
Good luck
