Too Many Incompetent Federal Judges!

Last week, my weekly column took to task elected judges who take campaign contributions from lawyers who practice before them.  Some suggest appointing judges as is done in the federal system.  But is the appointive process really better than electing judges?  Do citizens get better choices and more competent jurists? From my point of view, not the way the system works at the federal level.  My column points out the incompetence of many appointed judges, especially those who sit on the U.S. Fifth District Court of Appeals.  Take a look and see what you think.  You can read it now by going to the Red Flashing Box above, or by. Clicking Here.
