NO! Elected judges would be an even greater disaster. Maybe the sheeple in your neck of the woods are sensible. Mob rule is something the founders DID NOT want, witness Obama.

When the sheeple vote for redistribution of wealth through the judiciary, just as they do now through the legislature, don't tell me that I didn't warn you.

I don’t see how electing judges would make things any worse, and I certainly see how it would make things better. Your arguments are used to justify kings and queens. If the people cannot be trusted to elect judges, they cannot be trusted to elect any other official. Lifetime appointment of unaccountable judges is not acceptable. The process of impeachment is a fraud. They cannot be removed. The purpose of elections and term limits is to remove bad politicians. It needs to be applied to judges the same as for any other government official.
