The current selection process is provided for in the Kansas Constitution, and it was specifically approved by Kansas voters in 1958. While it is very unlikely that a federal court is going to tell Kansas how to select its state judges, this lawsuit could create uncertainty in Kansas courts for some time if an injunction is granted.
[Update: here is a link to Judge Belot's decision denying a preliminary injunction stopping the judicial selection process.]
