    Unfortunately, there’s no requirement for credentials to be a judge. It’s typically lawyers but they don’t have to be.

      That’s a fair point. Perhaps disbarment would be purely punitive, if they in fact have law credentials, but at least they should be impeached. This is absolutely cause for removal from the bench.
