    Hmmm, what about the opposite - a judge chosen by the opposition?

    Like, what if it was Biden on trial for some reason and it was a judge chosen by Trump. Would you have the same concern?

    I agree it sucks and she clearly sucks, but I’m not sure a simple rule like your saying would definitely make sense.

      Unless there’s been a bunch of recent deaths it shouldn’t be too hard to find a judge named by neither Trump nor Biden.

        Why does the executive branch have any say over the judicial branch? Shouldn’t they operate independently of each other?

          That would be the Constitution.

          I believe Article II, Section 2.

            Too bad it doesn’t make sense to do it that way anymore.

              And I told you why…and where in case you were interested.

          We have reached the point where politics has so deeply invaded all levels of government that the system is broken beyond repair. Now, it’s just a battle for the soul of the monster.
