She's not competent. She think's there no such thing as precedence in US jurisprudence for example. She also thinks that her religious beliefs trump the law.

Not to single you out, Nomad, but I am losing my grammar Nazi mind over something that’s happened here several times recently.
‘Precedent’ is something citing as a guide or example, such as ‘a legal precedent’.
‘Precedence’ means an assigned priority as in, ‘If you’re on a budget, paying your rent takes precedence over buying that really cool limited edition lightsaber.’
There. I feel better now.
