What is the relationship between judicial selection and judicial independence?
Judicial independence is critical; it is the only way to guarantee fair and impartial justice for all Americans. In order to be sure that every American receives fair and equal justice in the court system, we need to ensure that judges are able to do their job without undue political pressure from parties, political leaders, and private citizens. By limiting the role of politics in selecting judges, we can limit the political influences that may hinder fair and impartial justice.
