I think you misunderstood my point. Trial lawyers may be trying to buy the election for their RAT candidates, but their candidates have consistently lost over the last ten years. Put another way, they have been mostly unsucessful in buying judges.
However, if we had an appointed system, it would be much easier for them to underhandedly install their bought-and-paid-for judicial candidates.

I see problems with appointed judges.
But, I think most trial lawyers realize they must butter their bread on both sides.
Now if Democrat judges have been loosing for 10 years, don't you think they have realized they need to buy themselves some of 'whoever' sits on the benches?
Trial lawyers may prefer democratic judges - but they will take whatever they can get, and if they can only buy themselves some republican judges - then republican it is - still bought and paid for---
