Quote:They NEED to be nominated by the POTUS and not the people.  The job of the Supreme Court is not, contrary to conservative belief, to uphold the will of the people.  It's to uphold the constitution, regardless of the will of the people.  Electing judges is one of the dumbest things we do as a country.

Being elected by people who have ulterior motives isn't the answer either. I agree they judges must uphold the constitution but I don't agree with their nominations by people who have ulterior motives beyond partisan views. And I'm not a conservative. I may have some conservative views but less than you would think. Or I should say not radical or extremist conservative views.
