This is crap.

A lifetime appointment should be truncated to a maximum age. Maybe the Federal retirement age.

If someone wants to run for office past that, fine. Their choice. But this is an Octogenarian stubbornly refusing to admit she can’t possibly do her job.

It’s not an entitlement and she’s not royalty.

That wold require a Constitutional Amendment, highly unlikely IMHO. FDR tried an end-around by trying to pass a bill through Congress that would allow him to appoint Justices to “help” aging Justices with their workload (of course it was to counter the anti-New Deal votes in SCOTUS). Even Dems thought this a bridge too far and rejected it. Today’s Dems won’t hesitate if they gain control of the Presidency and the Senate.
