WHY are Judges asking people who request SMART Recovery over AA meetings for a sponsor?

We are hearing reports that Judges are requesting that people who fight AA and ask for SMART Recovery, when they get a DUI  are telling people they need a sponsor. This is a violation of ones civil rights.

Persons need to fight back explaining that AA is not a personal setting. That AA sponosrs are not trained and not in any way a professional. This must stop.  It’s so wrong on so many levels.
