The underlying problem - politicization of judges/judiciary system - is something we may not be able to escape, but perhaps can minimize. We all expect people to play by the rules of the law, written and the spirit, but we know human nature can take people off course, just as it is with free markets But tThe problem of a "lottery system" for judge nominations seems one we could deal with better than we currently do
The problem is in the legislative branch. Everybody wants a shortcut to implementing their agendas, and getting the court to rule that forcing people to do X or forbidding them to do Y is square with constitutional rules that limit their power to do so means that when the shoe is on the other foot forbidding X and forcing Y is cool too. Short-sightedness.
OK, hows about keeping life terms, but alternating which party nominates a candidate...assuming either party is either president or controls a certain % of congress?
We have a mechanism for that called "elections".
Political parties should have no constitutional role in government. They are private clubs, and granting them any powers over anyone else disenfranchises anyone who isn't in those clubs.
OK, how about...JK

For years we begged the academic left to clean up its own house. We pleaded for intellectual diversity, the promotion of civil discourse, & honest dialogue about Critical Race Theory. The left wouldnât, couldnât, & didnât. So now, this is what you get. And likely, four more years https://t.co/k5nN08mQN5

? i was referring to changing the current nomination system for supreme court, appeals court, and district judges.
"term limits for judges, and a schedule that allows each president to nominate a judge or two"âyeah, not exactly like a typical political appointee, more like a federal commission, like the FCC. Not seeing what term limits accomplish, other than churning the membership. The original intent was to isolate the court from the political winds, and this lets them blow thru the court regularly.
It's not the worst idea I've heard for reforming the court (adding justices to pack the court is) but I'm not seeing it as much of an improvement.

sorry for jumping in, but...why not have term limits for judges, and a schedule that allows each president to nominate a judge or two. The current life terms and "lottery" system seems inadequate.
Read a few of the items below and decide if you want judges to become ordinary political appointees.

From The Hill today, regarding Trumpâs performance on ABC town hall in Pennsylvania:
He was also pressured by the ABC anchor on his promise to replace ObamaCare and on his pledge to preserve health insurance for those with preexisting conditions.
Trump has repeatedly promised to unveil a new health care plan â a tweet from The Washington Post noted he has done so 16 times over the past three years â but no such plan has emerged.
Trump told Stephanopoulos âI have it alreadyâ but provided no details.
Itâs coming, itâs coming! A great plan! Youâre going to love it!
This charlatan has been promising the unveiling of his great health care plan since the 2016 campaign. Then, he promised it would be unveiled in the first couple weeks of taking office. Then, he said they were just dotting the eyes and crossing the tees. Now, a few months short of the end of his 4-year term, he is still touting his great plan that is now ready. This is like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick and each time pulling it away so he falls on his ass. For those of you playing at home, in this scenario, Trump is Lucy and the public is Charlie Brown.
If he has a great health care plan ready to go, why would he not have implemented it, or at least disclosed it? Rhetorical question.
What got me was that Trump was openly lying to people, not only while talking to them but also while he was live on national TV. He wasnât embarrassed or uncomfortable. He just made up crap on the spot and kept babbling away.
Tump just talks his own version of reality into existence even if it has nothing to do with facts. And weâre supposed to be OK with his BS even though weâre closing in on 200,000 deaths and dealing with a crashed economy and his unending incompetence.

This entire administration is a disgrace and soooooooo embarrassing. People in other countries no longer hate us but feel SORRY for us! That's just sad to me.
