73. Ridiculous way to state the issue

I'm not qualified to skate in the Olympics, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize when someone slips and wipes out on the ice.

Whether Garland's handling of Trump and 1/6 is the moral equivalent of wiping out on the ice is an entirely different matter from the bogus premise of your challenge, i.e. that you must be capable of doing someone's job in order to have a valid complaint about how that person does their job.
