The constitution has been taken out of the lower courts.
Aren't nearly all the judges of the lower courts elected positions?? Not appointed positions like Federal judges??

Elected judges (and other elected officials) have a tendency to rule the way they believe will get them re-elected, and aren't we, the people, who elected them responsible for that??

In a democracy, you don't always get the best people in office, you get the people who got the most votes, and that isn't often the same thing.
