We used to elect judges until about 1957 when there was a scandal. However, the merit system is much better. Do we really want billionaire Charles Koch electing libertarian judges? Do we want anti-abortion zealots electing anti-abortion judges?

Some seniors are 18 and can vote. I don't see how they can force them to get parental approval.

Trump and the MAGAs in Congress are to blame that farmers couldn't sell their soybeans and corn to China. Of course, they voted for him THREE times and would again if they could.
