> The lower level elected US judges is a bad idea IMO.

the idea is that their are 50 states each with their own laws and things. so electing judges that represent your states interest makes sense. in canada isn't there no distinction between criminal courts, it's all federal isn't it.

Judges are harsher near election season. It's a terrible idea to have elections for judicial posts. 2 people committing identical crimes under the same legal environment shouldn't get different punishments

that's more a prosecutor problem than a judge problem. a judge doesn't have to punish any crime if none come to their table.

look at those california prosecutors who just refuse to prosecute.
