Right now, we have a merit-based system that allows folks to be selected based on the fact that they know something about the law.
They have a judicial temperament.
They treat everyone fairly.
And they go through this very advanced vetting process and then still get retained by the voters.
The voters say every so often, yes, we want to keep them or we want to fire them and send them home.
Chris Kobach and the extremists in the legislature don't like that system, though, because it does not give them control over the system, and it does not give their billionaire buddies who want to buy outcomes control over the system.
And so, because our current system creates a court that is fair and impartial, they instead want to create a court that is made up of politicians who are bought and paid for by out-of-state billionaire political donors.
And to be clear, the outcomes that that group of folks wants—
are outcomes that are paid for in advance and that are hostile to values that Kansans themselves say they want.
That includes not just access to abortion, but Chris Kobach and his friends, they're still mad that more than 15 years ago,
The Kansas State Supreme Court said that public schools in the state should be adequately and equitably funded.
It's in our state constitution.
The state Supreme Court upheld that.
They're mad that the court has from time to time had reservations about certain restrictions on voting rights that the legislature has tried to put forward.
And they're worried that in the future, a fair and impartial court that is not bought and paid for in advance might just perhaps rule in ways that uphold LGBTQ plus equality and dignity or that uphold the humanity of immigrants or do anything to uphold our democracy, period.
Rather than risk having a fair and impartial court that would uphold any of those things, they're trying to amend the state constitution now, have voters amend the constitution to give control of the court over to direct partisan elections bought and paid for by billionaires.
I don't like it.
People should vote no.
I can understand why folks would think that.
I think it's also important to note the context here in Kansas, which is that we used to have a system like this 70 years ago.
