Tennessee dems are complaining about this campaign basically headed up by Speaker Ramsey. They are screaming don't bring politics into the court and that these three justices have served well. They don't seem to remember that they were political appointments by Gov. Bredesen in the first place. The real battle is for attorney general of Tennessee as the Tennessee Supreme Court appoints the position. I'm pretty sure the only state that does.
So in your mind being appointed by a dem is a valid reason to mount a campaign to have them replaced?
I realize you brought up the fact that they got the job in the first place most likely by the hand of a dem. That is the name of the game and I understand that. I'm just ready for Rom Ramsey to be removed from a position of power in our state.
All these members have since been supported by both dems and republicans btw.

That is one constitutional amendment I would fully support, ending lifetime appointments. I suspect the founding fathers never thought people would live into their 80s and spend decades on the bench.
