I mean, we're the ones voting for these people. Also, this is like one judge in the whole country, and apparently from this article the last time this happened was in 1975. I don't think we need to create new regulations for every little rare problem. Things can be dealt with on a case by case basis sometimes.

Who are "we"? Where's the young citizen who had a say on who should be judge? Where's the young citizen who voted for the Federal Reserve chairman or the ECB president?

  > Where's the young citizen who had a say on who should be judge? Presumably voting in house and senate races in November for the candidates whom they trust to vote for the next Federal Reserve chairman on their behalf (in a way that reflects their concerns and wishes).

> I mean, we're the ones voting for these people Often we don't have a choice; even if party support wasn't mandatory, there are young, newly elected congressional representatives who are struggling to support their families because congress never once considered that one of them might not be independently wealthy.
