Judges, too! Especially the Supremes.
They were given lifetime tenure precisely so they would not be influenced by political considerations. The idea was that their loyalty would only be to the law, because they did not have to worry about their jobs.
That’s all been turned around. There’s always been some politics, but since Bork, Supreme Court appointments have been all political. That should change. If politics is unavoidable, make their terms long, but not for life, and especially, asynchronous with the Presidential election cycle. Maybe 13 years would be a lucky number.
