Idea: Elect Supreme Court Justices

Terrible idea.  Many, many people would never get a fair trial because of this.  In the states that have this system today, the federal courts can at least intervene to correct the most grievous errors, which keeps the perverse incentives in check.

This makes me nervous because I strongly suspect Earl Warren et al. would have lost a removal/retention referendum sometime from Brown v. Board to Loving v. Virginia.
