Everyone else has term limits. Why not the sucreme court? I don’t mind if they are elected various times but they need to be aware that the people can get rid of them somehow someway sometime.

or Create a HIGER COURT. There ought to be a way to create a higher court....you know without calling it a court....like they do with “agreements” not being called TREATIES.

The jurisdiction of the court would be limited.

Back in the Sixties when Earl Warren was running roughshod over the Constitution, there was a suggestion to create a Court of Union one level higher than the Supreme Court. This would have meant that the Chief Justices of the states would meet en banc and review Supreme Court decisions and possibly overrule them.

The idea surfaced for a time, but then disappeared. It would have required a constitutional amendment, and the momentum in Congress wasn't there.
