For John, BLUF: If ignorance of the law is no excuse, laypersons need to be thinking about the law. Nothing to see here; just move along.
On City Life this morning Host George Anthes, while discussing the Constitution, the US Supreme Court and Law and Great Lowell Technical High School made a reference to me as someone who didn't accept his views, the views of a man educated in the law and with a license to practice. And a Government Prof at UML.
So, I texted in some comments, and followed up when I called in later, about another issue. The problem is, I sent the text to my Granddaughter, Jennifer. And she didn't point this out to me until it was too late. But we had a nice exchange via text. She is out in Ohio, married, a Mother and working in Quality Control for a chemical company.
But, back to the Show, George suggested I didn't trust the opinions of lawyers.
Actually, no.And, George is always saying "Five lawyers, five opinions."♠But, to privilege lawyers over citizens, when only 5 Justices (or a Jury) can determine what a law means seems wrong.

♠ I am thinking, actually more than five opinions—n factorial and all that.
