re: #122 Soap_Man

I like 20 years. The whole point of a life-long seat on the court is that one doesn’t have to worry about getting re-elected. You know, they can avoid making decisions to keep voters/congress happy.

But it’s outdated. Back when they cam up with this idea, people rarely lived past their 60’s. Nowadays, you can have someone on the court for five decades.

So, 20 years and you can’t be reappointed. You are there long enough to make an impact, and since you can’t be reappointed, there is no desire to make anyone happy.

ok I will split it with you… 15 and out, my best offer.
