all levels of judges are political appointees. While a few bad apples slip by, the use of tenure and mandatory retirement age, for the most part, we have a very good judiciary and candidates are vetted. I could not imagine appearing before judges who run for election. But very gratefully to all those Dems who voted in Kellly.
