Almost like they could be represented in the house or the Senate, right

I'm not an antivaxxer, but I do believe in informed consent. So:

No.

Republicans have performed poorly in the NC gubernatorial race over the last 30+ years, winning once.

Council of State and elections to the legislature have been successful for them, though

Not necessarily, anyone who knows the state can tell you this.

NC ousted an incumbent republican while electing Trump in 2016. Republicans have not won the governorship, except once in 2012, since 1988.

The states national and state election results have always been decoupled.

Maybe not always, but there are plenty of senators who are fundamentally there for life (McConnell).

This also means theres a lower chance for those who truly can't be bought, because running a nationwide campaign is expensive. They will all need money--most of it from corporate. Could you imagine Citizens United being decided by an elected court?

The one advantage would be that the court would more rapidly match the public's views, and not take decades to move along with the country... But we still elected a raving lunatic like trump.

I think Bidens proposals strike a reasonable balance; a 5-7 year elected term I fear forces more money into the equation and doesn't give any opportunity to fix the thing.

Which makes them incapable of being bought? Look at any senator you care to.

Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.

Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.

8.11, never forget

How many washing machines

Or maybe just good guys with Li-ion batteries.

I'm not sure how you just build a pool that doesn't leak and can hold the weight of the water...
