First of all, you ask the lawyers this question: do you want the most competent judge, or do you want the most competent judge with some knowledge of the other language?
It is incorrect to say you have eight bilingual judges in the Supreme Court at the moment. You have eight judges who probably meet the requirement of the amendment, in that they have some knowledge of the other language, but to me--and I speak from the knowledge of my own spouse and members of the family--being able to converse is not being bilingual. Being bilingual, understanding the other language fully, is quite a chore. You can have somebody who has a very acute legal mind but is not very good at languages.
I'm just repeating that if the test is the most competent versus the most competent who is somewhat bilingual, my own opinion is that I want the most competent judge. It's same as surgery: I want the best doctor; I don't want the linguist.
