From WSJopinion: Judicial elections were once sleepy affairs, but in this polarized political era they are more important than ever. Majorities are at stake in several states with judicial elections.
Whether the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi or the shooting of Steve Scalise in 2017, one of the root causes of escalating attacks on lawmakers today is the inflammatory rhetoric from politicians and media personalities on both the left and right sides of the aisle.

Parties and interest groups are spending millions in high-court races in Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Montana and Kentucky. The outcomes will decide whether these courts act as neutral arbiters of the law, or too often become laws unto themselves. At stake are issues ranging from abortion to election law to economic freedom. The stakes are even higher now that the U.S. Supreme Court is re-establishing some federalist principles and returning more power to the states.
