My Idea for electing Supreme Court justices

You lost me at the word "electing".

I really like federal court term limits, but I'm also not into electing any judges.  The only case where I could support it would be as an emergency backdrop to resolve confirmation battles like what's happening right now with Scalia's seat.  When there hasn't been a confirmation by the next general election, perhaps we should have the senate majority and the president refer their top choices to the GE ballot?

Well at least you are only half misguided on this.


Court term limits obliterate equal justice, degrading it on a cyclical basis determined by the length remaining in the term.

As for elected Judges, they became essentially another branch of the legislature, which is a trend that has already progressed too far as it is.

I can't wait until the first campaign commercial for justice Scalia jr., Preceded by his first $1,000 a plate dinner.

I think instead of law school pedigrees we should look to commercials to see who's a real American/has castrated pigs in the past.

It has already happened here at the state level.

Who said anything about not reading your post? I said you "lost my support" the minute you said "electing Supreme Court Justices".

It seems your response is misdirected.
