I have seen term limit policy suggestions on here for Congress, and I think we should instate term limits to all branches of government. This will ensure that no branch becomes too powerful and that we have a judiciary that is keeping current with the average American.
The proposal is:
Establish staggered, 18-year terms for Supreme Court Justices and limits the Senate’s advice and consent authority in relation to the appointment of Justices.
Require the office of the President to appoint a Supreme Court Justice every two years. If the appointment of a Justice would result in more than nine Justices on the Court, then the nine most junior Justices shall make up the panel of Justices exercising judicial power in cases and controversies. Further, any Justice who has served a total of 18 years is deemed retired from regular service and may continue to serve as a Senior Justice.
Additionally, the Senate’s advice and consent authority is waived if the Senate does not act within 120 days of a Justice’s nomination.
I disagree with your proposal, but I do believe the entire federal judiciary does need reform. In the district and appellate courts, there are too many activists in robes who do NOT uphold the law, but DO create, subvert, and pervert the law based on politics, ideology, corruption, undue influence, and any number of other reasons. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is well-known for this.
