| Rath said: How does your state supreme court work? I find the system you use for the main supreme court to be very stupid. Your supreme court is the most political I know of in any democracy. Your Judges are appointed by elected officials which is extremely silly. There isn't the seperation between the government and the judiciary which really is necessary. Its the reason why your judges can be easily grouped into the liberal and conservative wings of the supreme court in my opinion. |
They're elected, just like everybody else.
6 year terms.
Judges who run for office are told they are not alowed to make any political comments... so all you can really run on is your record... and well your opponents negative record. Republicans and Democrats still "rule the roost" due to the fact that you still need money to run.
Or rather... Republicans rule the roost. There isn't a single democrat on the Ohio Supreme court... an odd thing considering Ohio is pretty much THE SWING STATE when it comes to elections where Republican and Democrat are on the ballet.
In a funny way Ohio is the most important state in the country. Yet oddly the national politicians still avoid coming through on the promises it gives them.
