They have what you're advocating over in Mexico, where a judge that rules against the cartel can expect to be killed the same day.

Judicial elections are an option for accountability, setting up judges to be gunned down is not.

Judicial elections are also problematic - we've seen what lobbyists can do to Congress, and there's no reason to expect them to be more tame in a scenario where the Judiciary is also elected.
