What are the problems with an elected judiciary? Would you want your criminal case to come before a judge who was running for re-election on a "get tough on crime" campaign message? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers may vary: Judges are human and the electoral system for judges unfairly interjects politics into the criminal justice system. What are best for a fair and impartial judiciary are lifetime appointments with removal for cause (some egregious misconduct that undermines the judiciary's confidence in that judge's ability to be fair).
