Term Limits for USSC Judges is another story. That would be a Constitutional Amendment obviously. One that would have a good chance of passing I think. But MvM is right out of Hamilton in the Federalist Papers. It's what was meant by 'all Judicial Power'. Otherwise, again Legislators can pass any law they want...including declaring themselves tenured for life. the Judicial Branch's job is to prevent legislators from passing laws forbidden by the USSC.

I'd rather seat a constitutional convention for the purpose of preparing omnibus amendments to cure issues wrongly decided in Marbury vs. Madison, Texas vs. White, Baker vs. Carr, Presser vs. Illinois, US vs. Miller, Bakke, Roe, Lawrence, various other Douglas-and-Brennan juridical laughers -- "penumbras" my ass! -- and generally treat the subjects of the federal system, subsidiarity, relations between state and federal sovereignties, and Court jurisdiction and overreaching, especially on Commerce Clause cases and property cases such as yesterday's, while specifically incorporating the Bill of Rights to all levels of government to cure lacunae in some State codes and upholding some of the other historic cases the Supreme Court has got right, such as Brown vs. Board and Ex Parte Merryman.

It's fairly obvious that it's time to take these matters in hand while the People still has the ability to do it. It's now or never.
