I wonder when we will get term limits for Congress? That is a bigger problem for our country.
Meh, I go back and forth on term limits for Congress. Getting to vote every 2 and 6 years is good, and if communities would like to keep sending back representatives who they feel work for them, I think that’s fine. I think that’s an important distinction between Congress and SCOTUS. We need districts to be competitive, however. The number of “safe” districts should be infinitesimally small. No more partisan gerrymandering and overturn Citizens United; lawmakers should always feel like they are under pressure to deliver for their constituents or lose their seats.
AR is spot on – apples and oranges SCOTUS vs Congress terms limits: I think term limits in Congress probably gives more influence to lobbyists, as they will be the ones with staying power / institutional knowledge.
Need for competitive districts is much more important. Moving toward ranked choice voting/jungle primary would probably be the most bang for the effort – could be passed at the state legislature level.
Democrats are two elections late in making an election about the Supreme Court. They got played by Republicans led by Mitch McConnell, we shall all feel the effects of the Federalist Society judges they packed into the judicial system for decades as they try to roll back 100 years of settled law.
A strong judicial ethics code exist snow–for all federal judges except SCOTUS. Guess who oversees it? SCOTUS.
If they’d just agree to live by the existing judicial ethics code, none of Clarence’s nonsense would occur.
You’d think a long-serving SCOTUS justice, who barely survived a scandalous confirmation procedure, would have more sense than to: accept lavish gifts without reporting them.
☝️
Interesting that as we had a liberal court the last 50-60 years, there was hardly, or never, a call for term limits. Only after the court turned conservative that the cries began.
Also, I agree with Clark B, we do need term limits on all of Congress, that’s where are biggest problems lie.
Also, if there is really an ethics concern, we need to investigate Congress members a bit more often.
Yeah, that flaming liberal Earl Warren … he was the worst. Why did that … Republican Eisenhower appoint him anyway? And Burger, appointed by that liberal Nixon?
Let’s be clear – Congress can’t “pass a constitutional amendment” or “ratif[y] a constitutional amendment”. Congress can PROPOSE a constitutional amendment, which will only become an actual amendment if ratified by 3/4 of the states. This process was made intentionally difficult by our founding fathers, which is why it has only happened 27 times in the history of our country.
The writer of this article apparently does not understand the process. I would expect more from the Associated Press (and the writer’s editors).
I’m am amazed at how tame the comments are are. There must be some pretty broad agreement to the proposals.
a tweak to the proposal: Make the Court 13 seats, and have one Justice from each Circuit and the Federal Circuit. Not more than 3 terms of 6 years, then can take Senior status to be available for assignment where ever needed in the Federal judicial system, or retire completely on a lesser retirement.
+1
Only a crooked, lifetime parasitic, senile lame duck ‘President’ and his lackeys could come up with such a last minute desperate move on a Constitutional fixture. Frankly….there should be mandatory end of service, retirement by age of 70 for ALL federal employees, elected or appointed. That goes for every department from janitor to FBI director and yes, Congress and the Presidency. Elected officials could not run for re-election once they passed their 70th birthday. That, in effect, is ‘term limits’.
That seems very strange you denigrated the person calling for an idea that you then said didn’t go far enough… lol
which, as to Judges and Justices, the President, Vice President, and members of Congress, would require a Constitutional Amendment, as such an age limit is not part of the Constitutionally listed qualifications for office.
But age restrictions and term limitations miss the point. It’s not how old you are, but how competent. The closer I get to 70, the more I’m pretty sure I’d do a better job as a Representative or Senator than many of the younger bozos now in office. It’s not the age, its the wisdom and ability to understand the total breadth of the issues.
Lot of name calling to then say you actually agree with the overall proposal lol
Alito claims the Congress lack the constitutional authority to impose ethical standards or enforcement of standards. Does he not understand the meaning of “coequal branches of government” (executive, legislative, and judicial) and “checks-and-balances”? Or the fact that Congress controls the SCOTUS purse strings. Alito is, therefore, not a part of the solution but is the problem.
