Should Supreme Court Justices Have Term Limits?

No and no. The system works just fine. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Policizing the Court more than it already has been is a BAD idea.

Term Limits Already Exist

There are already term limits, and they are lifetime appointments. If any justice ever attempted to serve two lifetimes, I would be at the head of the line yelling to implement term limits otherwise quit whining and deal with the court made up with the constitutionalists we have.

Potential Threats to Independence

Never. That would affect their independence, and the only reason to even suggest it is to allow Democrats — who have neither decency nor morality — to intimidate the justices to rubber stamp their evil.

Hypocritical Criticism of Older Justices

They do. They may serve only one lifetime term each! Many of the same people who are trying to remove Clarence Thomas from SCOTUS also thought it was acceptable for a very sick Ruth Bader Ginsberg to remain on the highest court for many months instead of retiring. Hypocrites!

Even though RBG was very old, very ill, and had to stay at home some days for health reasons, she held on hoping the future would give a Democrat POTUS an opportunity to appoint as her replacement someone far-left politically like she was. Joe Biden and several Democrats in Congress don’t agree with recent SCOTUS rulings on abortion, gun rights, illegal immigration, and they refuse to accept our Constitution’s design for three COEQUAL branches of government.

Independence is Non-Negotiable

Just like term limits for members of Congress, a Constitutional amendment would be required to term-limit the Supreme Court. I doubt Biden, Harris, or Schumer want term limits placed upon the. The whole point of no limits is to assure that they provide a conservative view. By ldquo;conservativerdquo; I’m not even vaguely referencing present-day conservatives or Republicans. In this case, Conservative means historical; not influenced by the latest whims and fancies. More influenced by the law and not the latest fashion.

The Supreme Court is a crucial branch of our government. It’s a bastion of legal principles, and its justices should serve their entire lives, dedicated to the rule of law and justice. Term limits would undermine this principle and risk political interference in its workings. As such, it’s imperative that we ensure that Supreme Court Justices have no term limits.

Moreover, judicial independence is paramount. The term-limits debate raises the specter of political pressure on justices to align with specific political agendas, thus compromising the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary. The notion of term limits is foolish and could lead to a democratic erosion of judicial independence.

Conclusion

There are many who argue that term limits are necessary to guard against entrenched power and ensure that the Court remains responsive to the changes and challenges of our society. However, such a proposal would fundamentally alter the nature of the judiciary and undermine the principles of lifetime appointments that are enshrined in our Constitution. It is critical to uphold the independence and integrity of the Supreme Court, and the introduction of term limits would be a step in the wrong direction.
