I would only reiterate the comments that have already been made that we have a judicial system that is the envy of the world. People look to us. My office conducts some international work, and people do come to us to see how things are done, the appointment process and how it works.
While there may never be a perfect appointment process, the one we have is pretty solid. Never have I seen in my 20 years now in the office, I must admit, any appointment being made that is not from a recommended or highly recommended list.
