Bills do not edit the constitution....

Under normal circumstances, that would be a good thing.
Always support term limits.

If they add in term limits for Congress, then yeah, let's do it

Lol no thanks, I’d rather my children be assured to grow up in the same America I grew up in, rather than a perverted leftist socialist civil-war-ridden shithole. I’ll take Trump’s picks for the rest of their lives, thank you

Why stop at justices? They need to do this to themselves. Ultimate backfire.

They can't change this with a bill. It is in the constitution that they are appointed for life.

It can be changed starting with a bill.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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.
The new bill, seen by Reuters, would allow every president to nominate two justices per four-year term and comes amid heightened political tensions as Republican President Donald Trump prepares to announce his third pick for the Supreme Court after the death on Sept. 18 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with just 40 days to go until the Nov. 3 election.
“It would save the country a lot of agony and help lower the temperature over fights for the court that go to the fault lines of cultural issues and is one of the primary things tearing at our social fabric,” said California U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, who plans to introduce the legislation on Tuesday, along with Representatives Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts and Don Beyer of Virginia.
quote:
Some legal observers, including those who favor term limits, say they must be accomplished through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which has been interpreted as requiring life tenure for federal judges and justices.
The bill seeks to avoid constitutional concerns by exempting current justices from the 18-year rule. Those appointed under term limits would become “senior” upon retirement and rotate to lower courts.

How’s that new Covid bill coming along?
Posted on 9/24/20 at 5:30 pm to PorkSammich
Ok . Now how about term limits on Congress ?

The Constitution states that Justices "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour." This means that the Justices hold office as long as they choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment.
Going to need 67 yay votes in the senate and 38 state legislators to ratify then the constitution can be changed.

These fricking clowns just openly are for anything that increases their power.
I don't remember the details but back in the day Massachusetts had a dem governor and there was some statue giving the governor the right to do something or other.
A Republican was elected, the legislature took the power away. Then a dem was elected and they put it back.
They could, not arguing that, but it is rather petty.
