The Founders made a few mistakes when writing the Constitution. One of them, in my opinion, was not having a mandatory retirement age for federal judges. 80 would seem to be about right.

Average lifespan when the Constitution was written, was much shorter than 80 years old, probably less than 50 years old.

If they had put a limit on the age, like 50 years old, many good judges today would be way beyond such a mandatory retirement age.

Some aren't even appointed until they are past 50 years old.

People didn't live near as long back in the 1700s as they do today.
