Bontz Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Except it's introduced by Democrats, and only targets the SCOTUS. Tell ya what, I'm all for it if you start where it belongs and that's in the House and the Senate!! How do people not see through this shit???

Catalina Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Unless it's worded so that the SCOTUS terms only expire while the democrats have a president in the white house, this could very easily backfire on them in a big way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted July 27, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 27, 2022 Nothing about term limits for members of Congress just the Supreme Court? This is from a satire piece right??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The democrats have been squawking like a stuck pig since Trump took office about it. Like a few other things, it'll probably backfire as the general population would see the court packing for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted July 28, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Why all of the sudden is the amount of SC judges or their length of stay an issue? Start with the portion of government that's passing the laws and impose term limits on them Edited July 28, 2022 by Skidooski 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with the portion of government that is passing the laws and impose term limits on them And therein lies the problem. If people can't recognize the SCOTUS has operated this way forever, but cannot deal with it because of Trump appointees (and Roe v. Wade is the hot button topic) ... it's clear the rules need to be changed so the libs can get their way. Libtwats still think abortion is outright banned - they don't acknowledge it's in the power of the states, which is where it should be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 28, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 I fully support term limits in congress but not within the Supreme Court. Look how people complain that a 50 year old ruling was overturned. Term limits or stacking the court would cause more significant swings in govt power over us. It would be hard to keep track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalina Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I could deal with an age limit (80?) for justices appointed in the future. But - the current ones are 'grandfathered' by the rules in place when they were appointed. Maybe a way to get term limits in congress would be to do the same. If you are in, you stay as long as you get reelected. For anyone new elected after 2026 (for example), the get two terms in the senate, four terms in congress. It would take a while to flush out the current members, but there is no way they are going to vote in term limits for themselves.

House Democrats push bill that would term limit Supreme Court justices Can't do it with just a law. Need a constitutional amendment. Don't need that to stack it but would need it to place term limits. Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution reads that judges shall remain in their position so long as they follow "good behaviour." This has long indicated that judges, including Supreme Court justices, have lifetime tenure. The general consensus among legal experts is that there would have to be a constitutional amendment in order to create term limits. Some political and legal scholars believe it can be done through other legislation that would move justices to other positions in the court, although this has not been tested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's gonna be put in place for SCOTUS, then it should be put in place for all of the DC political positions ... POTUS, Senate, and House. But the real need is term limits for the politicians, not the judges. Just now, Highmark said: I probably could get behind that amendment. Can't be done by law alone. The fact it can't be done by law alone will (likely) prevent it from ever happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
