Roger, over.

that justice must then also be elected by the people

That's technically the reason for both the requirement of the Presidential appointment (the President is elected) of a Supreme Court Justice, and for the Senate confirmation (Senators are also elected) of that appointment; the Constitution puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of representative governance.

Unfortunately, American politics have become so rancorous, partisan and gullible that a popular vote would likely result in the same outcome as most other elections: whoever has the most money to influence the voters (representatives or members of the public) will win.

Ah yes, the Sam Vimes "Boots" Theory of Economic Unfairness:

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
