Personally, I want the Justices' to be nationally elected, with the ability to have only 2 10 year terms. That would be my ideal situation. I firmly believe these people need to be elected by us though.

I’m all for it ! Any cut off time is better than a lifetime for these corrupt SCJ.

I think an 8 year term with an opportunity for another 4 years if elected. No one should have a lifetime appointment. I loved Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but her lifetime tenure resulted in a huge loss to the Court and it’s only gotten worse since then.

I agree with term limits for Supreme Court justices. The current Supreme Court is so corrupt!

I’m with you 100%, however with a clause that states when they use corruption as power, WE THE PEOPLE CAN VOTE THEM OUT BEFORE THEIR TERMS! If they start showing favoritism to a certain group, corporation, or president they need to be removed immediately.

Because we already know certain members of the current Supreme Court are committing tax fraud, bribery and obstruction of justice they need to be removed first and seize the assets to follow the money to their crimes.

I certainly don’t believe they are currently being held accountable. It is time to look at all these options and find ways to get the courts back to being held accountable to the constitution and law created by the legislative branch. Currently, it feels they are puppets of the current administration.

Makes complete sense. A national referedum to confirm a SC judge is the best solution. It will politicize it no more than the court is politicized today.

Like 9 years (2 presidential election cycles plus 1); since my faith in judicial appointments is so low, I’d like to see them elected but only if we can do away with Citizens United and any corporate donations, and limiting donations so it doesn’t become the grift it is now.

8 year term limits. Elected nationally. 16 years is way too long.
