Talk:District of Columbia Court of Appeals

inherent sovereignty of the states
While I admit it's nitpicking, it's not strictly accurate to describe state supreme courts as deriving their authority from the Tenth Amendment of the federal constitution. The tenth amendment grants no powers, but simply emphasizes the powers states already have. The power of the state supreme courts is derived from the inherent sovereignty of the states. (I didn't make the change yet because I figure it's bad form to go rooting about in other people's well-written articles without soliciting comments. . .)128.143.231.161 15:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, so I changed the text as requested. (I kept the link to the 10th Amendment b/c that's the best article I know of for this topic; the states' rights article talks too much about things like segregation that aren't really relevant.) --M @ r ē ino 17:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

How do you get to be a DC judge?
This would be an important bit to go in the article. Are they appointed by the mayor of DC? By the president? By Congress? Are they elected? --Jfruh (talk) 17:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The DC Bar solicits nominations then recommeds. But, the Prsident decides and appoints.Geraldshields11 (talk) 14:22, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
