I have often wished that as I have watched previous Justices, with debilitating diseases, choose to stay on the Court over retiring and having their last days be peaceful.
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. They can't give up the power. It is distressing; and, is one of the reasons I would support an idea put forward by Mark Levin that the Court not be a lifetime appt; but, maybe 16 years (I think that is the number Mark put out there some years ago).
“They can’t give up the power.”
That’s the bottom line.
