You’re talking about Democracy vs. Republicanism. I’m talking about Republicanism and how to apply it to judges. The question is, should our Judicial branch be filtered through the executive branch. The fact is that filter has it’s downsides which you have not addressed. Neither have commented on whether states that elect there judges find themselves in a better or worse situation. Those are the questions that I have. Not for you specifically but the ones I am looking into. Believe me I have a fair grasp of the theory behind Republicanism and the discovery of truth through discourse.
The question I do have for you is, what natural rights exist and are recognized by the Ninth Amendment that are not enumerated in the other amendments?
I’m talking about Republicanism and how to apply it to judges. - - Through popular vote, the "republican" tag fails to apply.
The question is, should our Judicial branch be filtered through the executive branch. The fact is that filter has it’s downsides which you have not addressed. --- No, I admit the downsides, which were not in our original Constitution.
Neither have commented on whether states that elect there [sic] judges find themselves in a better or worse situation. - - Straw man argument; State Governments are far different from the design of the Fed Government.
Believe me I have a fair grasp of the theory behind Republicanism and the discovery of truth through discourse. - - but you want popular control over the most important part of our republic, as it is over the other two. I firmly disagree with your premise and your conclusion.
The question I do have for you is, what natural rights exist and are recognized by the Ninth Amendment that are not enumerated in the other amendments? - - - What a strange question. The very presence of Amendment IX was to not have the government defining rights not enumerated. What's more, you are talking about "natural rights" instead of constitutional rights. The question is very strange, bordering on the metaphysical.
