Appointed ones aren't really any better. They all have biases. The system is just built in a way that they are untouchable. How do you control someone who you have no recourse against? Perhaps the elected ones have the most accountability, even if it forces those biases to be more present. Even things like judicial conduct complaints are considered so secret that you can't subpoena them even if they contain exculpatory evidence. Judges are able to be sued (at the state level anyways) and investigated on civil rights and color of law violations. It just doesn't seem to happen. Even something like admitting in a red flag hearing that they are erring on the side of caution is a violation. Yet nobody cares to investigate or pursue it.
