Seriously, they were pretty naive. They assumed judges would always actually attempt to interpret the Constitution as written rather than just make up rulings out of thin air.
They probably assumed Congress would impeach problematic judges much more often than they do, which is basically never.
Activist judges are supposed to be removed, that's their check/balance but they never are.

CNN has completely lost any semblance of sanity or mental normalcy. Modern liberalism is truly a living study on cerebral derangement. Most everyone on this board was absolutely disgusted during 8 years of Hussein... but we didn't lose our shite the way today's Marxists are. I'm beginning to actually fear what comes next from them. They're pushing and pushing, and it's gonna be bad when we can't take any more and we push back.

No. Do you?
Much less than car wrecks, drug od’s and suicide today I’d gather.

If life expectancy mattered to framers then why did Washington nominate 2 of the first justices who were already over that age?

Well they buckled. But of course, they didn't.
Jefferson was the first one to say frick you, you do what I say...but in doing that, you were seen as a dictator...while non-elected people suddenly became dictator over certain issues.
It became a Catch-22.
The "independance" of the SC became a gold standard in the 19th and early 20th century...away from politics and appointments and issues.
And it's all been a facade for most often...as FDR wanted to pack the court to pass legislation to stave off the Great Depression because the court was full of justices against his philosophy and were not his appointees.
There is no true independance, everyone is beholden.

Who da hell is this CNN that you are referring to and why do I care what he thinks???
That's what I think of them useless ignorant opinionated shitheads. Should be changed to DNCNN.

CNN is crying over spilt milk.
That said, I would be open to say a 14 year term limit for judges.
Also, let's apply this logic to Social Security. That money pool wasn't set up to be drained by people into their 80s and 90s. It's going broke and the onset of benefits needs to be adjusted back at a minimum.

John Marshall was 79 when he died while serving on the Court. His successor, Roger B. Taney, was still on the Bench when he died at 87 in 1864.

When the framers wrote the constitution the average life expectancy was 55. They never intended for judges to live into thier 80s and sit on the bench for 30 years.
Their point is not wrong, but their point is also irrelevant. Regardless of the “original intent” of the Founders, the “text” says what it says, and that “text” should be “strictly construed.”
Love,

Typically if you lived past childhood your life expectancy was pretty decent. Not as good as today but still way better than the #'s you hear quoted.

CNN should've listened to Levin last night as he historically showed that activist judges were not a constitutional construct from day one.
