Should Kansas switch to electing Supreme Court justices instead of appointing them?

No

it doesn't affect me.

Donald J. Turnip himself should personally elect all officials everywhere in every country forever.

Merit system

No, I refuse to support politicizing the judiciary. We have retention votes every other year. If you don’t like the judge, vote against them in the retention election.

The Governor should appoint for a six year term confirmation by the Senate. The public should be allowed a retention vote every six years. Give the public a chance to throw the bums out.

Yes, but set them to a higher standard during elections. (Campaigns that are more "What I plan to do" and "This is what I believe," instead of attacking the integrity of the opponent.)

Nah, but make sure they meet the requirements of said position.

(merit selection with transparency) Merit selection reduces politicization but adds public accountability.

I think Kansas should keep appointing Supreme Court justices to maintain Independence, but there could be a system for public input or retention votes after a few years to ensure accountability.

Yes, and maintain the previous standards for who can become a judge

No, Kansas should keep appointing Supreme Court justices to ensure they remind independent and focused on the law, not on winning votes.

I'm indifferent either way they should be qualifed people.

i love kansas

Does not apply to me
