"If you don't like it you either must change the constituion or do violence to the document. But to do either will be far more destructive of the Law than these decisions."

Term limits for the Court and for Congress are essential if we are to recover our lost freedom and restore our Constitutional republic. You seemed to imply that amending the Constitution to impose Term Limits would be a mistake, or did I misunderstand your comment?

I have no problem with amending the Constitution to term limit judges but do not want them to be less independent or subject to political pressure from any direction. But I would not want to see terms of less than 10 to 20 years.
It is doubtful whether any amendment could be passed today though. It is not the shorter terms that pose a danger to me but making them subject to popular opinion.
