      No, no, no, a thousand times no to this idea.

      Do you really want judges making rulings based on what is the reddest of red meat for their base so they can get re-elected? Because that would be a great way for rural states to quickly become live-action versions of the Handmaid’s Tale in record time. Cannon herself would likely be re-elected based on how she’s handled the Trump case so far; if anything, having to worry about re-election would probably make her more brazenly corrupt, not less because it would be Trump’s base that would be putting her back on the bench.

        Dude …look around…we are already at what you’re describing when it comes to Republican leaning judges.

      No, it is a good argument for the congressional review process to actually pay attention to who is being nominated.
