Just to put this out there………………….

CTLawyer comes from a state where we don’t elect judges (excluding probate). They are recommended by the Bar association, appointed by the givernor and approved by the legislature.

They have a mandatory retirement age of 70.

they don’t have to kowtow to politicians to be chosen as a candidate, they don’t have to canpaign for office. they can afford to take a few years working for much less money than they make in private practice to serve the public good, because they can and often do return to private practice after leaving the bench.

The first change I’d like to see in the Federal Court system is to have term limits, no more lifetime appointments.

I’ve not posted one word about Federal judges being of either party. It’s about qualifications. I have great respect for some conservative judges and disdain for others. The same for liberal judges.
One of the worst judges to ever have been on the SCOTUS bench was Abe Fortas, an LBJ appointee.
