(1,192 posts)I'm of the belief the Supreme Court needs to have turn-over of justices on a regular basis and no justice can serve beyond age 65. My idea is as follows:
1. The current longest serving justice will be required to "retire" within 2 years and the President will nominate a replacement.
2. The next current longest serving justice will be replaced, if they've served 8 years or more, in 2 years. Continue this process until all justices serving over 8 years have retired.
3. Any current justices who have served less than 8 years will be replaced one at a time every two years. If two justices were appointed in the same year, the justice appointed first would be replaced first and two years later the other justice.
4. Once all justices have been replaced, every 2 years thereafter a justice would be replace meaning no president could appoint more than 2 justices per term unless a justice dies or retires.
This plan would prevent a Supreme Court from being to Democratic or republican leaning for years. T
