He uses Trump as an example. Asinine argument. EVERYONE had a say in Trumps victory/loss. Only a handful of morons voted in Mr Island Tips Over. We need protection from them. Term limits is the only viable answer. People like him and Maxine Waters should never be allowed to remain in DC this long.We got so many before Trump though. Ginsberg is a perfect example. An ACLU graduate who was disqualified just for that. She won't even leave with dignity. The Progs are forcing her to not retire. To bad she doesn't have the medical care of the regular people.Going before "the people" is not a good safety net. A perfect example is that idiot who thought an island could TIP OVER if over populated. That moron plays a role in forming the laws ALL OF US must follow and his constituents were clearly as dumb as him. All Americans need protection from idiots like him.Do we need to create an amendment to force retirement for positions with lifetime appointments such as the supreme court?
This amendment would obviously take time to frame and pass so it would have no impact on Ginsburg so get that out of your head.
Other than using her as an example for her age and medical problems this topic is not directly about her.
There comes a point when missing oral arguments and other important duties required to serve as a justice becomes a problem. Many issues that come before the court deserve & maybe even demand the full attention of ALL of the justices. Votes should never come down to "going with the status quo" because you missed too much work to be properly informed on all aspects of the subject.
Then we have to face the possibility of judges having diminished mental capacities that impact their decisions.
Personally I think we need age restrictions on ALL positions that have power over any aspect of American politics and law.
I agree...for judges, people in Congress and the POTUS.
I think 70 is a good age to use, but could maybe go for 75.
I am less on board with the term limits mentioned above.
I disagree with Congress and POTUS having age limits
They have to go before the voters to take office. If voters want to select someone who is in their 80s, it is the will of the people
The will of the people has been accepted for centuries
That is how we got Trump
