    I don’t agree with any of that. First of all, lawyers are a cancer on society. Parasites.

    My point is unanswered here, I claim electing them is better, because we could take it back, even if the system is corrupted now, you are saying/not saying to give that power to politicians and their appointees.

    It’s a simple argument. You trust them, I don’t.

      Kinda a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation.

      Elected, you get this judge.

      Unelected, you get the current US Supreme Court…

        With elections we can take back control, without them we cannot. The process is corrupted now, but in the hands of politicians we are powerless with the way things are going.

        Judges and prosecutors run unopposed more often than not, there is next to no information about them, and both parties’ candidates being the same is never more true than with them. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and we’ve gotten a few reform DA’s elected, and they’ve gotten viciously attacked by their State’s old boys their entire terms.

        I did read it, and your wishy washy support non support of giving away our voting rights to politicians.

            You didn’t take a position, typical coming from a family of lawyers honestly.

            I made a simple point, and you haven’t addressed it. Speaking of dumbing down, I don’t think I can simplify that point any more, you are declining from answering that point.
