Position Paper 5

Position Paper Question for this week? Judges, as the representatives of the judiciary branch of government are elected by mass popular election. As we have studied, elections create a heavy influence from interest groups and organizations/persons that fund campaigns. The Supreme Court justices are not elected but appointed for life to the court. In America, the Supreme Court is the law of the land. Even these justices are chosen through political party affiliation. Choose your position and write 250 words/ 1 page on why judges should be elected or appointed to their positions? Include two examples or supportive sources for your reasons.
