The Poster Boi for amending the “judges for life” provision

38 years of anti-Americanism, age 87, is WAY more than enough

I think a lot of them are getting up there in age. I think judges from conservative states need to be nominated,

“appoint a conservative to replace him...”

Appoint a combat Marine from Camp Pendleton who takes no crap from left wing commies. And send him to court carrying an “assault weapon.”

I think that ‘Judge Rudolph William Louis Giuliani KBE, of the 9th Circuit Court’ has a wonderful ring to it. Having worked as a lawyer, in addition to being a businessman and politician, he is ideally suited to such a position.
