They should be voted in.. not appointed. They are appointed based on their political ideology which isn't serving the country or the people. Just too right wing.
The Ponte Vedra Wine Bibbers Association strikes again. Let's just always pick someone white and of a certain religion. Isn't Ron Dishonest a so called Roman Catholic. He's Roman but not very Catholic. He reminds me of Billy the Bamboozler McSewer.
