was Scalia the one that had the quote about just because this guy didn't do the crime doesn't mean that he wasn't sentenced appropriately by the law?

People barely even know the Supreme Court exists, and you want them to be responsible for electing Supreme Court judges?

It's already bad enough electing judges on the local level, and you think it'll be better by having general elections for the Supreme Court? That that will de-politicize the Court somehow?

There isn't a :wtc: large enough for this.
Why don't we do direct elections of the Surgeon General too? Who needs all this high level vetting of extremely skilled professionals in fields that few laypeople understand? Sounds like partisan backdoor dealing to me. Direct democracy always = better than.

In fact, lawyers are the worst at cronyism, especially at favoring their own law schools and discriminating against rival schools. We'd have nothing but Harvard lawyers on the bench, which is already a problem, frankly.
This is a good point.
