Why don’t people advocate for SCOTUS term limits?

A single Justice can have more impact on the country than a few dipshit members of Congress.

The Supreme Court is not your friend. I suggest a 25 year limit.

Then Clarence Thomas would already be forced out.

Because amending the Constitution is incredibly difficult.

I would rather have an age limit. No older than 80.

Because it is trading one set of problems for another.

Right now is bad with each side fighting over seats as people retire by choice or die.

Want that to get worse? Wait until a hard right justice is up under a Dem president or a hard left one under a Republican President.

This I could get behind. There is no way RBG is fully competent now, she should not be allowed to continue

We just won SCOTUS, why would we advocate for that? Plus, the Constitution

If SCOTUS were functioning correctly people wouldn’t think of ‘we’ and ‘them’ with regards to the court.

Yeah situations like RBG are fricked up and not how it was intended to be. You shouldn’t be able to be on your death bed still serving

I actually think the weaponization of the court was a flaw in the Founders’ thinking.
