My opinion is worthwhile to me. Whether it is worthwhile to you is of little interest to me.
I’ll leave it to anyone else who reads the post to decide for themself on its worth or lack thereof.

It is merely the latest iteration of your constant fallacy of authority argument.

It boils down to "might makes right", which is a perfectly suitable argument for ignorant barbarians, but wholly unsuitable to reasoned men. That you constantly advance it is an insult. It is a tacit implication that only judges can reason.

My experience has been the exact opposite. Judges seem particularly unsuitable for the task of reasoning. They are doctrinaire and suffer from a herd mentality.
