While the internet says there are not hard qualifications beyond having a law degree in order to become a judge, there is still an important distinction.
Which is that with a position as a judge, there is a hierarchy of appeals possible.
But with this immigration administrator position, there is no means of appeal.
Which then makes me infer it can not be a real judicial position.

When I ask the AI, it gives me this even more confusing answer:
{...
Immigration judges play a critical role in the U.S. immigration system, adjudicating cases involving asylum, deportation, and other immigration-related matters. A common question arises regarding their classification: Are immigration judges considered administrative law judges (ALJs)? While both roles involve adjudicating administrative matters, immigration judges are not formally classified as ALJs under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Instead, they operate within the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, and are appointed by the Attorney General. Despite this distinction, immigration judges perform similar functions to ALJs, such as conducting hearings, interpreting laws, and rendering decisions, but their unique position within the immigration system sets them apart from the broader category of ALJs.

That's a job title, not an educational one. If the individual in question is appointed as a judge they are a judge - their background, professional qualifications, and education don't come into play.
 
Re #3,105

That even extends to SCOTUS

Not all United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) members were judges before being appointed. While many justices come from lower federal or state courts, the Constitution does not require previous judicial experience. Historically, justices have been appointed from backgrounds as private attorneys, government officials, or law professors, with some having never served on the bench

.
Key Details Regarding Judicial Experience:
  • No Requirements: The U.S. Constitution outlines no specific educational, professional, or judicial requirements for a Supreme Court Justice

    .
  • Diverse Backgrounds: Throughout history, many justices have had non-judicial backgrounds. For example, Earl Warren was a governor of California, and Felix Frankfurter was a law professor at Harvard before joining the Court.
  • Modern Trends: In recent decades, it has become more common for justices to be appointed directly from the U.S. Courts of Appeals (federal judiciary)

    .
  • Current Court: While most current members were appellate judges, others have come from roles such as assistant attorney general or private practice

Therefore, while prior judicial service is common in the modern era, it is not a constitutional requirement, and many justices have been appointed without it.

But there should be clear distinctions between the judiciary and the executive.
If these immigration administrators are appointed by the executive and if their cases do not follow the rule of law, such as being able to appeal to a higher court, then it seems to be this is violating the separation of powers portion of the Constitution?

The Constitution does not say that a Justice must be American born, a certain age, or hold any particular profession before being selected. However,

I'm not much of a fan. BUT
Early in his elevated notoriety RFKj criticized some food dyes.
It seems they're still in use.

Just says nobody took him seriously in those days either. And if Trump hadn't appointed him to a position he's not even vaguely qualified for nobody would take him seriously today either.

Yet he's already taken a wrecking ball to long-tenured standards, to the detriment of the People.

Withholding red dye from ground beef might degrade the aesthetic (if any),
turning fresh looking red-shaded beef to grey.
But expert opinion supports RFKj's position on it.

So the Trump administration's position: only change that will be a detriment?
