My Idea for electing Supreme Court justices

[MarkD]

I do not see any advantage in electing Supreme Court Justices, nor in having them serve for a fixed number of years. No the Supreme Court is not working just fine, like one person said, but the problem with how the Supreme Court behaves comes from a lack of objectivity. They are too political, because that's the underlying reason why the Presidents appoint them. Presidents from both parties have been selecting who to appoint based on the ideology of the appointees, which translates into the fact that the Justices base their decisions on their own ideologies. Presidents need to appoint people because of their commitment to objectivity. Looking back at the last 100 years, the best example of a President choosing someone for that reason was when Herbert Hoover appointed Benjamin Cardozo. We, the electorate, should start demanding that our presidential candidates look at that appointment as the ideal that should be emulated.
