The problem is that a "rotating" federal judiciary would make the judges even MORE PRONE to making rulings based on political ideals. The purpose of a lifetime appointment is to take politics out of their rulings; however, the activist judges use their position to become even more political. I think the real answer is to impeach judges who blatantly disregard the law simply to advance an agenda.

I tend to agree. I don't see any use in replacing one bad batch of judges with another. The impeachment hurdle is VERY high (I think 2/3's of the Senate). We probably won't have much luck in that area until we finally finish off the Dems, and some more responsible political party takes their place.

In my mind, I have acknowledged that they are partisan politicians, and that the power is too great to be withstood by humans.

Rotating them via election recognizes that they are partisan. It provides a means for regular, thoughtful course correction.
