Judges shouldn't be elected. They really really shouldn't.

I don't see  how you avoid judges being nothing but political tools otherwise.

At least in a system like Ohio you have to run on the merits of your rulings, rather then the system we have now. 

Just look at how the rest of the Western world does it.

You know, it's actually a lot harder to find judical nomination information then you'd think.


From what I can tell... in the UK... the Judges pick more judges?  I don't see how that helps the situation since the judges we have now would just pick the judges that best suit well... there own views.

Also our Supreme court has an odd number of judges, which means if there is an even liberal and conserative spit they could just deadlock... forevery on every choice.
