If you're going to change a commonly held definition you're probably going to have to inform people you are doing so or be met with confusion. Personally, I prefer using words and terms as they are actually defined, not what I choose them to be defined as, that being the core tenant of language and all.

Well, it is wrong unless we choose to use your personal definition, used only by you.
Quote:Doesnt any case have to go through a federal judge, a quarter of which have now been nominated by a conman thanks to recommendations from a political group, before it can even get to the SCOTUS?
Any case? No. Many cases go through the court process without ever entering a Federal courtroom.
