Over half a century ago, Alaska's Constitutional Convention adopted a Judiciary Article that calls for Alaska's judges to be selected on merit through a process involving the nonpartisan Alaska Judicial Council.
In The Constitution: The Essential User's Guide, the Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor, former associate justice of the Supreme Court, put it this way:
"What makes the Constitution worthy of our commitment? First and foremost, the answer is our freedom. It is, quite simply, the most powerful vision of freedom ever expressed. It's also the world's shortest and oldest constitution, neither so rigid as to be stifling, nor so malleable as to be devoid of meaning.”
