Answer 2

I believe judges should be appointed. Elected judges can be elected based off political views, which lead to a political judge with a favor to one political side. Elected judges can also won majority vote by their county simply just because their view in politics. In court, both political sides should be treated as the same, this may not happen with a judge that favors just one side.
