So make SC terms fixed? Like 8-12 years.Originally posted by old_gregg View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so.

Lame Duck justices who have to hurry and make their mark before they are off the bench?

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Limiting the terms of the justices would run counter to separation of powers. It would undercut the power of the judiciary.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Instead of letting them essentially become lame ducks by their age, and going out with a bang before they retire? I don't see why it wouldn't happen in either scenario.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post
I don't see how limiting SC justices to fixed terms undercuts separation of powers. The SCOTUS as a body is still theoretically equal to the presidency and legislature. Am I missing an argument?Originally posted by myboynoah View Post
Again, it's not a panacea. I am just tired of this political game of banking so much on the life of a SC justice, and placing so much hope in a president's chance to nominate someone."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

I'd rather do term limits, but what about some baby steps? What about a mandatory retirement age? Canada's SC justices retire at 75."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

It would give the executive branch (primarily) and legislative branch (secondarily) greater power and influence over the judiciary because there would be opportunity to stack the court based on the latest political whims.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

How does that fix the appointment issue? All it does is make it obvious when the next appointment will come. See least now you don't exactly when a justice will die and a shot will open up. Could be during Trump's term, could be during Biden's. Could be neither.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Why is it that people want term limits when their party isn't in power?"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment
