    Judges being responsible to the public, and gaining their mandate through popular election is anti-democracy. Lol’d at the comments of the US Ambassador.

      The reform faced a rare and stinging critique from US Ambassador Ken Salazar in Mexico City, in which he called the election of judges “a major risk to the functioning of Mexico’s democracy.”

      CNN is so reich-wing now that they think that’s a “stinging critique”

    the thought process is: “electing judges is bad because there is a risk that incompetent people get elected”. As if we had competent judges right now lmao.
