He doesn't claim to have a PhD. He is a PhD candidate. In order words, he's finished his coursework and passed a candidacy exam. Probably. I say probably because I've run into numerous people who claim to be "candidates" simply because they're in a PhD program; that's not strictly the definition.

But in any event, he hasn't yet done any original research or written a Thesis. Why he feels floating his educational credentials is a legitimate appeal to authority says more about his own sense of inadequacy than it does about his actual expertise.

I seriously doubt the truthfulness of his testimony. Anyone can say anything, and the history of liberals giving false witness is pervasive -- and damning.

That makes this whole thing even more bogus.

The funniest thing is in court they no longer swear you in by stating, “...so help you God”. Now they simply say “...so help you”.

You’re literally swearing by yourself. That’s self-referencing and wouldn’t be allowed for identification or reference. It’s utter nonsense.
