Electing judges doesn’t really make sense to me. Are people supposed to dig up every court case they’ve ruled on? (Or for prospective new judges, every case they’ve represented in as a lawyer?)

(I’m in USA Btw; Does any other country even “elect” judges? Such a weird thing IMO.)

    Technically, you can give your senator some input and tell them how to vote. They can also call in witnesses and get commentary.

    The point about scotus being appointed is that it’s still a political process, they’re still doing politics.
