Judging judges

I agree with Aaron Podhurst’s May 6 oped, “Term limits will only diminish Florida’s judiciary.”

There should not be any system that elects judges and forces them to go around with their hands out for money for their campaign instead of taking care of business on the bench.

And since when is the electorate qualified to judge the judges? This is the job of the Florida Bar.
