You offered unprovable anecdotal information. Was it an attorney? A judge? It’s useless. And you know it. If someone does that to you, you call them on it also.
Like knowing the name of the attorney - oops - judge - would bet tantamount to revealing *uckeye’s mother’s name, phone number and address...
One has to be a lawyer to be a federal judge. So the answer is “both.”
lawyer (noun)
- a person who has been trained in the law, esp. one whose profession is advising others in matters of law
judge (noun)
- an elected or appointed public official with authority to hear and decide cases in a court of law
anecdote (noun)
- Obsolete little-known, entertaining facts of history or biography; a short, entertaining account of some happening.
No, I offered the opinion of a legal professional with whom I spoke. Whether or not I can prove I spoke with him is irrelevant. The statement “A defendant who refuses to provide a defense is subject to a default judgment” is provable and not anecdotal evidence.
I’m not arguing that point with you any further. It’s a distraction from the facts under discussion.
