Let me get Micah to chime in here.

What do you make of that, what Sarah just said, this notion that there's so much going on behind the scenes that the public is not privy to?
voice-verified
So I think
voice-verified
What about this notion that Sarah just described as about all this politicking going on behind closed doors?
voice-verified
Is there anything to be concerned about, again, based on what Sarah just said, that there's this intense politicking going on just to join the commission that picks the slate that goes to the governor for a selection to the court?
voice-verified
If they know they're running for election every few years, doesn't that change the way they go about, any one judge goes about making decisions about how he or she's going to rule on a big case?
voice-verified
But Kansans have never kicked anybody off the bench at the state Supreme Court level.
voice-verified
And does anybody, does any typical voter really follow what these judges do on a day in and day out basis?
voice-verified
But they're out raising money from special interests in order to fund their campaigns.
voice-verified
Again, doesn't that change the dynamic if you're a judge on the state Supreme Court?
voice-verified
But they're not under any kind of real political pressure because no one ever gets rejected at a retention election.

voice-verified
But again, no one ever gets removed.
voice-verified
Typical voters don't follow the state Supreme Court and anyone's ruling.
voice-verified
What about that part of this?
voice-verified
There really isn't that much of pressure being applied by voters because they don't pay attention.
voice-verified
moment.
voice-verified
Micah, you said the state Supreme Court under the current system is fair and impartial.
voice-verified
And you argue that this amendment is not about changing the system, which was put in place.
