Those “Unelected” Judges

Another thing worth noting about the California court:

All seven members of the California court have been confirmed by the voters. Kennard — confirmed 2006 with 74.5% Corrigan — confirmed 2006 with 74.4% Werdegar — confirmed 2002 with 74.1% Moreno — confirmed 2002 with 72.6% Baxter — confirmed 2002 with 71.5% George — confirmed 1998 with 75.5% Chin — confirmed 1998 with 69.3%

Six of the seven were originally appointed by Republicans.
