Canada does appointments from the beginning (merit-based), meaning our judicial system is really good (unless you’re a Trumpist, of which we have far too many).

Judges who have too many rulings overturned on appeal due to dumb shit get their hand slapped the first time, second time can lead to removal (depending on how serious the stupidity was).

But our laws are not based on original intent, which (to me anyway) makes far more sense than how American SCOTUS makes rulings. I mean society is vastly different now than even 100 years ago, so why think that laws made back then make sense now?
