U.S. Senate Should Not Confirm Federal Judges

The Appointments Clause is part of Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, which empowers the President of the United States to nominate and, with the advice and consent (confirmation) of the United States Senate, judges of the United States Supreme Court.

This means the United States Senate does not have to provide confirmation for all other federal judges, although that is erroneously the current practice now. The reason why the U.S Senate should not confirm federal trial court (U.S. District Courts) judges and federal intermediary appellate court(U.S Circuit Courts) judges is because most senators are too detached and too out of touch from the impact of these courts.

Imagine how a Virginian federal Senator would relate to the happenings and conduct by a federal court in Alaska? Too much detachment breeds Imperial Democratic Mode.
