This stems from a law disallowing people over age 70 to hold Justice of the Peace and Constable positions.
I understand there's pretty lengthy debate about it, but it seems like a fairly significant civil rights issue, no?

FREE LEGAL ADVICE!:

DO NOT ASK THE INTERNET FOR LEGAL ADVICE!


ETA: THIS IS NOT ACTUAL LEGAL ADVICE. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT A LICENSED ATTORNEY BEFORE RELYING ON ANY INFORMATION.

Read it like the rest of us had to. When you get to the end, you'll look up and go "WTF does the Constitution even mean!?"

I worked with a man who hated his job. he applied to be a walmart greeter, and was denied due to being too young.

he was pissed and happy at the same time. he was about 45 at the time

Yes, but it depends on the job position.

they should impose some sort of mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court Justices, or give periodic psych evals after certain age milestones, of course if that was an entrance requirement, we might not have a Supreme Court

I think age discrimination is moot after a certain age. I think 65 is cut off, but could be older.
