I have a question for you that I'd like your opinions on. In Kansas, as it stands now, some counties elect their judges and the other counties have appointed judges. Johnson County and my county, Shawnee, have appointed judges, and those judges are mostly very left-wing, whereas counties with elected judges, like Sedgwick, tend to be much more conservative. There's talk of getting a movement going to have all judges in every county be elected rather than appointed. What do you think? CCW might be an issue that could be affected by a judge. This thread just made me think of this issue.

While it might be a worthwhile endeavor to make all judges subject to the approval of the electorate, I think that concealed carry could sail through the legislative process if we (Johnson County especially) didn't keep sending RINO (or Democratic) governors to Topeka to veto the legislation.

We don't like it when liberal, Demorat judges make law from the bench. We shouldn't do the same, even if we approve the outcome. Unconstitutional is unconstitutional.

But I like your thinking.
