I guess the the election of judges must be something really strong and hard to get because right now many judges are accepting money and some other regards from criminals, how can this be possible ?

I don't find a constitutional amendment necessary for an intermediary appeals court. Nonetheless, the appeals court will not solve the problem.

I think an appellate court that is appointed will only accomplish 'appeasement' for those that want appointment, albeit unnecessary.

Thanks for the comment.

Quote: "So, if we move more toward transparency, judicial evaluation for public education/accountability, curb campaign finance structures, generate an appeals court, and provide for ethical accountability for the judges (with regard to judicial campaign contributions), we will be solving the majority of the problems, even in the eyes of Justice O'Connor. So, why do we need a constitutional amendment . . . we don't."

Um, you forget one thing: it would require a constitutional amendment to create a court of appeals in Nevada. So either way, we need a constitutional amendment to fix our problems.
