...is gonna get ten lashes with the emily2 spanking thing.
new york state trial court judges are elected. ELECTED. E-L-E-C-T-E-D. the only time anyone is appointed at the trial court level is when there is a vacancy. and no, justice doris ling-cohan was not appointed in this manner - she was elected in the general judicial election... with over 230,000 votes in fact. OKAY?! SHE WAS NOT APPOINTED. so please get that through your thick skulls.
likewise, california state trial court judges are elected. ELECTED ELECTED ELECTED.
that's right... subject to the democratic process. not appointed. elected.
and just because i am feeling ornery, even if a judge ISN'T elected, there is this case from 1803 that says that judges have the power to decide whether laws enacted by legislature are constitutional. it's called marbury v. madison; the supreme court may have the final say whether a law passed by congress is constitutional. this case is over 200 years old, okay? it's not going to change. judicial review is here to stay. deal with it.
thank you very much. good night.
