As opposed to the Democrats who believe you are guilty until proven innocent. Come on man, you are better than that.
I simply mean this is not a court, there is no prosecutor (regardless of her title). Innocent until proven guilty is not an operative principle in this setting. The R's want this to look like one - it isn't. Hence "gambit".
Interesting perspective, since Sen. Feinstein just complained that the Rs refused to allow other witnesses related to this situation besides Dr. Ford. Sounds like she wants it to be a trial - at least in the court of public opinion. I also couldn’t help but notice her attempt to influence the public court whenever she mentioned Ford it was “Dr. Ford”, but Judge Kavenaugh was “Brett Kavenaugh” or simply “Kavenaugh”.
They are all the same. Feinstein sits there and says all the right things about not dismissing the story of the attacked, but did that very thing when it comes to accused Ds, and our two most recent presidential candidates have a history of doing the same.
Honest question.... outside of the courtroom are judges referred to as "Judge XYZ"? I do know Dr. "this" or Dr. "that" is a reference outside of the hospital / classroom. I am not interested in what should be done at this hearing as a show of respect but I was just wondering what is normal. I can learn something today.
I am sorry, but doctors went to
medical school.....
Thanks. So are you saying that Judges are or are not referred to as Judge "XYZ" outside of the courtroom? I would think so but I am not sure. In academia, it sort of depends. I don't believe lawyers are referred to counselor or attorney so and so? What is the protocol?
The Juris Doctor degree (J.D. or JD), also known as the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree (J.D., JD, D.Jur. or DJur), is a
graduate-entry professional degree in law.
A lawyer becomes an "attorney" once he/she passes their state's bar exam and gets a license to practice the law.
In my experience, most attorneys are not referred to as Dr. nor do they put that on their business cards. I've heard them referred to
"you shithead" (big in arraignment court) all the way up to my"
"esteemed colleague". The latter appellation is what Congresspersons (I heard there are quite a few lawyers in the U.S. Congress
) call someone with whom they disagree. TRANSLATION:
