Democrats in of the House of Representatives will introduce a bill next week to limit the tenure of U.S. Supreme Court justices to 18 years from current lifetime appointments, in a bid to reduce partisan warring over vacancies and preserve the court's legitimacy.

FIRST, it would need an Amendment as the Constitution says "shall hold their Offices during good Behavior."

SECOND, it would be exceedingly stupid as a law when another Congress can modify the law to suit them. Thus an explanation of the reason for having a Constitution!

TWITS!!!

THIS!

I am not opposed to term limits, but I am opposed to Democrats imposing term limits for conservative judges and then removing them in the future for liberal judges.

You can be 100% certain that they would remove the law immediately after establishing a liberal majority.
