Judges That Are To Be Nominated By Either The Governor Or The Vice-Governor

Representative Democratic Model- Selectable Offices Part Thirty-Five (Session Five)-

The Governor (state head executive) should nominate state trial court judges as well as the chief justice of the state appellate court that adjudicates civil cases of equity. The Vice-Governor (vice state head executive) should nominate appellate court judges as well as the chief justice of the state appellate court that adjudicates criminal cases of law.
However the Governor should be provided selection filters by the State Senate before he/she nominates the state trial court judges as well as the chief justice of the state appellate court that adjudicates civil cases of equity. The Vice-Governor should be provided selection filters by the State House of Delegates/Assemblymen before he/she nominates the state appellate court judges as well as the chief justice of the state appellate case that adjudicates criminal cases of law.

For the sake of separation of powers. The Chief Justice has too much power as he/she not only manages the court, he/she also gets to vote. A justice should do one or the other. No public officeholder should do both.
What is destroying America is dual role participation of government. Moreover due to the fact that the head executive (state or federal) should nominate both the trial court judges and the chief justice of one appellate court, he/she should not be allowed to nominate both the appellate court judges and the chief justice of the other appellate court.
