Regarding Noah Feldman’s Nov. 24 commentary in The Tribune: As a former mental health professional, I am annoyed by people assuming that “sanity” is a word used in mental health.

Sanity has an explicit legal definition and is not a psychological term. It is often used to indicate whether a criminal distinguishes “right from wrong.” President Trump’s issues are not so simple.
