Agreed...
The thing about the court is that it’s decisions last a long long time.
If you do put a 40 year old on the bench, you could easily get 40 years service out of them.
Then you have to consider that their final decisions will be on matters that may not be reviewed again for 50 years, if then.
This means you effectively get 90 or more years from a great Conservative judge on the court.
Putting a good person on the court now could affect our nation favorably until well after 2100.

We see what Washington dinner parties did to guys like Harry Blackmun and David Souter....
