Good point - a judge is by training a lawyer. I always thought lawyers were supposed to study language and logic, but it’s obvious this fool failed both.
In Texas, elected County Commissioners meet as a group in what is referred to as the Commissioners Court. The head of the "Court" holds the title of "Judge".
Thus, Judge Thomas Jones is neither a lawyer nor a "judge", in terms of common meaning. Instead, he is what he seems to be -- a stone ignorant political hack.
