4 ideas for Supreme Court reform

[Flash]

I don't know if term limits need a Constitutional amendment. But it seems simply adding judges may work.

Since the Constitution provides that SC justices "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour"it would require an amendment to change that.

How does adding judges relate to term limits?

I seriously doubt a constitutional amendment could pass in the near future.

Term limits

All federal judges have lifetime appointments. Even some who have pushed for expanding the Supreme Court have floated term limits as an alternative. Norm Ornstein has been talking about this for many years, even before the current fervor built for overhauling the court.

The number floated for Supreme Court justices is often 18 years.

“I don’t think someone should have that much power in an unelected position for that long,” former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. has said. “I think that three senatorial terms, 18 years, would be enough for a justice.”

TERM LIMITS

RACIST JUDGES SHOULD NOT HAVE LIFETIME APPOINTS. THATS WHATS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY NOW.

We can do both. There is nothing special about judges to leave them on the job until they die.

ESPECIALLY RACIST REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVEONES

We've got to stop giving some people privileges that the rest of us do not get!

NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE APPOINTED or elected to ANY Governmental or Federal JOB FOR LIFE!

Judges are not Saints- Judges are not Gods- Judges are not KINGS nor Queens!

Judges that are now appointed by presidents- SHOULD COME UP FOR REVIEW AFTER THEIR 10th year- AND MUST BE re-appointed by the president and approved again by the Senate in office based upon their record on decisions made during their span in office.

10 years is a long enough record to know if a JUDGE is using their personal politics to weigh or influence their decisions they've made on the bench- OR NOT!

Good idea. After 10 years the current president has the right to remove the judge and appoint his own.

funny this all comes up after dems have lost the majority.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

How? Does every case bought to the SCOTUS have to have resolution? If one of the arguments is strong enough it would decide the case, not political or ideological bias

this is you being completely ignorant or willfully obtuse............if you can't see the OBVIOUS political bias in all of the justices being nominated by highly politically biased parties, then you're not intelligent enough to be taken seriously

And “liberty” plus “freedom” are worn out cliches, in today’s world reduced to bumper stickers

only because the responsibility of liberty and freedom scares you

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I think the courts have steadily expanded our liberties and freedoms.

how so?????
