Elected Judges

Daniel talks with Judge James Baker of Texas and Former Judge Norman Krivosha of Nebraska. In Texas, judges are mandated by the state constitution to run for re-election and Judge Baker is a supporter of that. Judge Kivoshna is opposed to having judges run for office. He says that means judges may alter their decisions based on the whilm of the people, not the rule of law.
