How can we as a society make appointing judges a more fair process?

One way to make the process of appointing judges more fair is to create a more transparent and open selection process. This could include having a committee of citizens review and evaluate potential candidates, and then making the results of their evaluations available to the public. Additionally, the selection process should include a diverse range of voices, including those from different backgrounds and perspectives. This could be achieved by having a diverse selection committee, or by having a public comment period where citizens can provide input on potential candidates. Finally, the selection process should be free from political influence, and should be based solely on the qualifications and merits of the candidates.
