“The second is that confirmation by the General Assembly will make the process accountable to the people by giving elected officials a role in the process.”
The General Assembly removed the people from the process of electing the judicial branch of government. The “attorneys” (Overbey, Kelsey, White, et al) declared that the constitution meant them when it said “the qualified voters of the state”, yet knew the court had been illegally “selected” by them for nearly 40 years. So the constitutional amendment to codify their illegal Tennessee Plan of the previous 40 years admitted the guilt. The legislative and executive branches now collude to “select” the judicial branch. It is already quite transparent. The Republicans liked the Democrat’s illegal selection scheme just fine, so long as they do the selecting.
Same as paper ballots vs. hackable electronic voting machines. Team R was all for verifiable, auditable paper ballots….until they gained the majority.
