Oh, dude, federal judges are appointed instead of being elected because the Founding Fathers were like, "Let's have some experts in law and stuff, not just the popular kids." It's all about that separation of powers and making sure judges aren't swayed by public opinion like a politician trying to win a popularity contest. So yeah, appointed judges bring that extra level of professionalism to the courtroom, you know?
