SCOTUS Term Limits

The time has come to make the Supreme Court more responsive to current sentiment. Many feel that it has lost touch with the general US population.

A proposal that is gaining attention is to impose 18 year term limits on the Supreme Court members. This would accomplish several objectives.

  1. Reduce the impact of right wing groups on the nomination of Supreme Court justices.
  2. Encourage the nomination of more seasoned and experienced justices
  3. Make the Supreme Court more dynamic by providing each President two nominations in each 4 year term.
