Should Supreme Court Justices be elected?

No - the system is by no means perfect, even the framers knew that, but it is still a balanced system. Our government is much more democratic than it was before, we don't need it to be more democratic. Having government accountable to the people is good, but too much democracy can lead to oppression by the majority.

Also, just so people know, the number of Supreme Court justices is determined by Congress - they could change the max at any time they please.

I have a question for everyone posting here.

We currently have many judges across the nation legislating from the bench. How do we stop judges from doing this? What are some solutions to solving this problem? I can not currently think of any answer.

Short of taking away judicial review from the courts, nothing(or make more state constitutional amendments, which would also be bad, amending constitutions on a whim is a terrible idea). Personally, I'd rather have the courts that use judicial review sometimes to legislate than courts that have no judicial review.
