Judge Thinks Three-Year-Old Children Can Represent Themselves…

Jack H. Weil, an immigration judge, thinks you can teach three-year-old children immigration law so they can represent themselves in a courtroom. He says he has done so.

We don’t allow them to handle scissors or be in the bathtub by themselves. Yet, this fool thinks they can represent themselves in a court of law?
