Should we elect our judges?

Question

for a debate, we are on the negative team !

Answer 1

Based upon local, county or perishes laws we already elect our judges. On the other hand; our Regional Federal Judges and Supreme Court Judges are nominated and then later voted upon.  

Answer 2

You are on the winning side. States where judges are elected have the most corrupt judiciary. Texas is a great example of a state with elected judges that has a great deal of corruption. Also, elected judges are tempted to come down hard on criminals if there is a lot of negative publicity on the case, rather than being objective.
