In the book "The Appeal" by John Grisham, a company that illegally dumped toxic waste and caused cancer bought a judge on the sate Supreme Court and overturned a $41 million verdict. Nowadays, many states have their Justices elected. I want to see if AG thinks that yes they should be elected, or they should be appointed by the governor to either life terms, or some other denomination.

The best would be if we could elect a bipartisan person into office, but bipartisanship is something that will never happen in America.
Suffice to say I think we should be allowed to elect, but I don't see what difference the two options will make.
Yes valkery, but do we want the judges who are supposed to be impartial referees indebted to those who supported them and then subsequently rule for them?

Like I said, the judge shouldn't care who got him into office. He should be bipartisan in all of his cases.
If we let the judge get picked by a governor, we have no idea what he stands for, anything about him at all. He could be a mass murderer that got put into the office because he held the Governor's family hostage, or an idiot who just happened to be friends with the Governor.
I prefer choosing my poison.
note: when I said "he" in reference to the judge, I meant he or she, since women are completely valid judges. >_>
'Picked' Supreme Courts still have background checks that go public. Someone can't pick an extremely stupid person and expect to keep his career intact.
Seeing as they are supposed to be bipartisan, I don't think it really matters. i picked man A, man A represents my ideals, he picks man B who may have leaning towards them * and note: when I say man I'm just referring to person, since a woman could do all of this, too >_> I don't see them as poison, so I don't really care who picks.
