spezWhy are judges in america politically aligned? Can anyone tell me about the election process of judges? In my country, we have the collegium system, which causes a lot of nepotism but keeps the government out of courts.
Because they are generally appointed by politicians, making them inherently political appointees.
OldWoodFrameAnd in the places they aren’t appointed by politicians, they run for office themselves.
So the only way to get the best judges for the job in an apolitical manner is a battle royal kind of situation.
