Thinking about SCOTUS today.

Just a quick thought: I am a big believer of term limits. Not only should the president have term limits, Congress should have them as well; Senators no more than two 6 year terms and Congresspeople no more than four 2 year terms. This should also apply to Supreme Court Justices as well. Keeping the same people in positions of authority for decades at a time can prove to be quite stagnant at time when the country needs to move forward. My thought is the limit should be 16 years, equal to four presidential election cycles. It's enough time to establish yourself on the court but not so much time that you become a liability to the process. If my term limits applied today, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Clarence Thomas, and Stephen Breyer would be gone and people with a more up to date view of the world would be making the hard choices that need to be made. Instead, we have vapid minds keeping us from moving forward.

Until next time,
