In reply to the discussion: Does anyone here vote on judicial elections? [View all]True Blue Door
(2,969 posts)10. Agreed. If it's to be elective, it should be handled like an election.
They should set out their legal philosophy and discuss prior cases before the public.
And if that would be too problematic, then it shouldn't be an elective office. The halfway point where they're elected but never say anything serves no purpose.

Makes sense. It's mostly people in law-related professions who would know the candidates.

Yes. There's always a way of finding out whether a candidate is a wingnut.

But I am active. I just don't run in law circles, so I have to look things up.

Have you tried googling your local Democratic Party committee website for information?
