Yes. But my point is, that’s a reason why we need to reconsider LIFETIME appointments.
The Founders would have thought lifetime meat 15-20 years tops.
No it is 40, 50 years or more!
So much damage can happen in those many years, and not even counting dementia and Alzheimer’s...
Oh Death, where is thy sting?!
Well, Death will finally come round half a century or so!
I whole heartily agree. Term limits and/or mandatory retirement age for all judicial and political positions is needed. Badly.
IMHO, term limits of 16 years* and mandatory retirement at 75.
* for House and Senate politicians, that could give you 8 terms in the House or 5 terms in the House and one term in the Senate or two terms in the House and two terms in the Senate. Lots of possibilities.
