Please read this article. Here's a nice selection for those of you who are lazy:
"According to the bill, the makeup of the committee
tasked with selecting judges - which has remained the sam sincethe
early 1950swill be altered. This panel reflects synergy between the
legislative branch, executive branch, judicial branch and the Israel
Bar. It is comprised of three Supreme Court justices, including the
court president; two ministers, including the justice minister who acts
as head of the committee; two members of Knesset; and two
representatives of the Israel Bar. The committee boasts a majority of
jurists so as to highlight its commitment to preserving the sanctity of
the legal profession; an emphasis on professional abilities is
considered a decisive factor in the nomination of judges. These
considerations serve as the criteria by which Supreme Court justices -
who are required to demonstrate a wide range of legal expertise,
competence and efficiency in view of the court's enormous workload -
are picked


The latest proposal will mandate that 11 members serve on the
panel, this time with a greater political representation. The bill
stipulates that one of the newly created panel slots be occupied by the
chairman of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. In
effect, this move would reduce the Supreme Court's involvement in
selecting justices. The proposed law also states that the Supreme Court
president would be the sole justice on the panel; the other two seats
would be manned by two retired judges or by two former District Court
judges."
It should be noted that this body seems to be tasked with selecting judges for nomination.

Now, the thing is that I would kill for the US to use the structure stipulated in the bill, let alone the current Israeli system. And before you say it's unconstitutional, remember that there are executive committees for pretty much every other selection process.

So now I ask you: why can't we have this?

As this plays with judicial selection, I'd say this should be both muckraker and election central.
