101 Politicians' or the People's Court?

[RJLipkin at aol.com]

Let me clearly state once  and forever that I am not here advocating electing 
justices. There are other  external constraints on the judiciary such as 
legislative overrides, term  limits, presidential and senatorial recalls, even 
councils of revision which I  think the framers unwisely dismissed.  Moreover, 
I'm in the process of  trying to come up with other external checks, and would 
welcome company.  
 
        Just to extricate myself  from having to defend a proposal for 
electing judges, my initial proposal, and  my overriding continuing interest is 
debating the principle of  modifying the formal role of Art. III judges, the 
principle that such  external constraints are normatively desirable.
