There already is a process in place.
Me and my husband and my sister and her husband and my niece and nephew and my 2 brothers in law. That's 8!Whatever 2-3 people you're talking about does not really speak for a general depiction of the right wing's reaction.

If you don't like it, let's see you change it.
You're wasting your time and ours by complaining about it.

That day will come, it's just a matter of time.
Oh democrats. People like you always seem to think the masses should be trusted with power because they are "wise". How quaint.

Senators were chosen by the legislature of their respective states and that was to also insulate them from the electorate and to allow them to focus on the interests of the state as a whole. That was a good system that should never have been repealed.
The important point here is to insulate the Court from popular opinion, at least to an extent. If you elect judges you throw that out and the court loses it's effectiveness as a brake on the executive and the legislature

I always love the criticism of "unelected judges," as if they spontaneously appear from the wild and take over our nation.
Definitely an important group within the GOP voting blocks. Will you release your detailed thoughts on the matter before next week?
