We the citizens elect the legislative and executive branches of government. In the first
part of the last century, the citizen right to elect US senators was finally acknowledged.
Judges are already elected to many state supreme courts. It is time now to elect the third branch of government at all levels. Supreme Court justices should no longer serve for

government murder.
