re: #55 Surabaya Stew

I’m not against ending lifetime tenure for SUpreme Court Justices. In fact, I would support a bi-partisian plan to ammend the constitution to either limit the length of time of service or to have the justices approved every 2 years for an 18 year term.

I certainly don’t think Perry is the best advocate for this, but he’s not wrong to suggest it. Of course, his intentions are pretty damn partisian, so this will only hurt and not help the chances of this ever happening.

What you’re suggesting would give political parties an undue amount of influence over the judicial branch.
