The appointment of judges by state legislatures is considered more political because it often involves greater influence from multiple political actors, party dynamics, and interest groups, leading to potential partisan considerations in the selection process. Legislators may prioritize political alliances or constituency preferences over judicial qualifications, resulting in a selection process that is more susceptible to political maneuvering. In contrast, governors typically have a more centralized authority in appointing judges, which can allow for a more streamlined and less politically influenced selection, although that is not always the case. This difference in the appointment process can affect the perceived independence and impartiality of the judiciary.
