Last semester I took a Polisci class and our moonbat professor showed us a PBS film called “Justice for Sell”. Basically it was a hit piece on Texas because the Doctors in Texas joined together and took the Texas courts away from the trial lawyers. It was pretty funny watching her try to convince us how evil doctors were for doing it. She would have had better luck trying to convince the walls then those of us taking the class that appointing judges was better than electing them.
Yup. It makes them answerable to the people - something sorely lacking elsewhere.
What happens to judges if they: Get soft on criminals? Give murderers probation only? Abuse their position? “Creatively” interpret the law? Guess what - come next election, you’re fired!
