We do politics and law quite differently down here.
But let's not point that finger only at America. How many Euro judges are elected?
They get appointed too.
But if they were appointed then I do favor life appointments. Otherwise they get beholden to legislative bodies and are simply enforcement pawns for the current crop in office. Either elect them directly by the voters or give them a permanent job.
I agree with you. Most if not all judges should be elected by a popular vote. It is a process left over (appointments that is) from early America when they wanted to give the power to the people but not all of it. |
