“We Need Merit Selection”
In a letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Charlotte Glauser argues that “Pennsylvanian’s judicial system is broken.” According to Glauser:
As long as we continue the partisan election of judges, we deserve the poor quality of our judiciary. The time is long past to get rid of this system. Both parties are guilty of prolonging this travesty.
Glauser’s solution: “We need merit selection of judges, especially at the state appeals level.” We certainly agree with that.
