SCOTUS should trade in their robes for clown costumes.

It’s very dangerous to have judicial elections-—threatens the intent of the judiciary. yet some people around here love it

I love this idea.
The thought of those smug marxists on the court who think they have all the time in the world to destroy the nation they hate suddenly aware they may one day soon become just another bitter misfit on the fringes warms my heart.

The "intent of the judiciary" has already been destroyed, or have you not been paying attention to the Abortion, Obamacare, and Gay Marriage rulings?
That is EXACTLY why Ted Cruz is suggesting this radical change.

So its preferable to have the marxists currently on the court clearly violating their sworn oaths to the Constitution and instead help facilitate a totalitarian leftist utopia?

People have already elected Barack Obama twice. What makes you think they’ll pick the right judges? You’re supporting lunacy.

He gives another reason too - that Congress is and will remain derelict. Impeachment is off the table, but it shouldn’t be.

The people don’t pick the replacements, they just retire the ones that hand down unpopular decisions (without regard to whether or not the decision was the legally correct one).

We would have to change the Constitution, would we not?
Unless one wants to interpret the “Good Behaviour” clause to make it subject to voter approval.
“Has Judge Roberts acted with Good Behaviour”? would be on the ballot....
Although that really does NOT seem to be what the Founders intended.

What’s needed are gallows not elections.

Doubtful.
The court has not been doing it's job for a long time.
Time for a change-up to the status quo and to the idea that what the Supreme Court does is not checked by any other branch or by the people.
