Mr. Jones did not call Judge Watson an idiot and shame on anyone who does.   I am confident that Judge Watson is qualified to sit as a Federal Judge and hence far from being an classified as an idiot.  The inference to being an idiot was made in your comment.  However, that does excuse Judge Watson from being misguided in his assessment of the situation.  Why not wait for Mr. Jone's column this week and we can part take in a discussion on the veracity of his column.  Just saying...
