Electing Judges

[kandrathe]

South of the border, has the process evolved at all? Is this a case where the passage of time and a more complex world has made the process an anachronism? Or am I missing some elements of the equation?

I'd say that failure get's you tossed out if you mess up, or voted out if you are very outrageous in any way. Many groups are pretty saavy about judges, like say the "right to life" groups. There is always a flurry among my religious right friends informing everyone they know who are the "good" judges and who are the "bad" judges. It is very complicated since the judges cannot campaign, be aligned with a party, or speak on how they would be on the bench. It would be nice actually, if there was an easier way to be better informed about their judicial qualifications and rulings.
