How about the idea of a single 18 year term for justices on the Supreme Court.
I’m adverse with tinkering with the wisdom of the Dead Old White Guys like was done with the direct election of senators.
BUTT (there’s always a big but) this proposal appears to have merit.
* each prez gets a pick; prevents “popular packing” by judges timing their “retirement”.
* doddering old “scholars” will be respectfully booted off.
* it presents a problem if one of them dies prematurely.
* probably should be accompanied by an age qualification (i.e. 65, 70,75?) to ensure that post-SCOTUS employment opportunities don’t enter into judicial decisions.
Your thoughts?
