What's not to like about "unconstitutional"?

Former Supreme Court Justice E. Riley Anderson has fired off a pointed op/ed in favor of preserving commission-based selection of judges, despite the Constitutional requirement that "judges of the Supreme Court shall be elected by the qualified voters of the state." In the piece he asks: ("Tennessee Plan worthy of praise" | www.tennessean.com):
"Why change it? Where is the scandal?"
I hope Anderson is enjoying his retirement . . . I am.


BTW, kudos to The Tennessean for its coverage of the debate over this issue.
