You cant set term limits, because to do that youd have to amend the Constitution, she said. Article 3 says
we hold our offices during good behavior You are right the founders never envisaged USSC judges sitting for 40 or 50 years because the job was physically demanding.
The first SC Judges road circuit. They actually spent a lot of time on horse back riding from court house to court house. In good weather and bad.
After congress created new courts (Federal appellate courts) to perform these duties the job got easier and they could stay in Washington D.C.
