If politicians are elected every 5 years what is wrong with selecting them in the same time scale. If you get a bad apple you can get rid of them. Not only that but it will force them to behave instead of turn to fascism and impose their beliefs on the population which is not what they are supposed to do.
Here is the kicker. The average years a Supreme Court Judge serving is 16 years, which is 2 years less than what is being proposed by Biden.
What kind of sense does that make?
There are no restrictions for a Supreme Court judges to resign or retire if they wanted to be replaced by a sitting president which they associate with, instead of dying and being replaced during the the time with a sitting president they do not associate with.
This is how Trump was able to replace 3 Supreme Court judges during his 4 years in office as president, which they associated with him, packing the court 6-3 in the Conservatives favour.
The problem with the Supreme Court Judges are, they don’t always interpreting the laws, but they become activist instead, so what good will it do to have term limits?
