Why It Means This
An objection is an argument thrown in the way of something. In courtroom dramas, 'Objection!' is one of the most recognizable legal terms — a lawyer throwing a formal challenge at the opposing side's evidence or questioning. Outside the courtroom, objections are milder but carry the same structure: 'I have no objection' means nothing stands in the way.
