Who Should Appoint Judges? Bureaucrats Or Voters? Voters!!!

There is a ballot initiative, Number 1 on this year's ballot to decide who should put judges on the bench- should they be appointed by bureaucrats or by voters. There is only one logical answer to this and the obvious answer is: The Voters.
The ballot reads: Shall the Nevada Constitution be amended to provide for the appointment of Supreme Court justices and District Court judges by the Governor for their initial terms from lists of candidates nominated by the Commission on Judicial Selection, with subsequent retention of those justices and judges after independent performance evaluations and voter approval?

The ruling elite, for the most part, from both parties, want judges to be selected by a Judicial Commission. They say it will take the politics out the selection process.
This argument is so asinine. Who appoints the judicial commission? Politicians. You don't think the judicial selections won't be political or influenced by money or gifts or friendships? If conservatives are running the commission, liberals would complain and if liberals have the majority, then conservatives would complain. Look how bad it is in getting a Supreme Court justice on the the bench. Further, why should some judicial commission, with members from Clark, Washoe or Nye County, for example, pick the judge for Elko County? Doesn't make any sense.
Right now, judges are elected and sometimes we get duds. The most notable example recently was Elizabeth Halvorsen who was totally incompetent. So, what happened? She was found to be incompetent, she was given training and still was found to be incompetent. they changed her schedule and that didn't work and then she was suspended. She had a trial and she was kicked off the bench. The system worked. The system also worked for a Judge DelVecchio was kicked off the bench in 2008. There have been other cases where judges have been kicked off the bench. http://www.lvrj.com/news/breaking_news/31957834.html
If this was an appointed judge, there is no guarantee that the judge would have been kicked off the bench. The judge would have to face an election after four years and if they get the majority of votes, they stay on the bench. There is no opponent and only one side of the story is presented.
So, say no to the ruling elite of Nevada and keep the present judicial system as it is. Keep having the voters electing judges, not some bureaucrat from the judicial selection commission.
Vote No on question number 1.
