An Ipsos poll shows that 63% of Americans want to end lifetime tenure for U.S. Supreme Court Justices, and only 22% are opposed to the idea. The other 15% did not an express an opinion. See this story. Thanks to HowAppealing for the link.

Agreed…. 12 year terms, with renewal up to 3 times by having a “no confidence” vote in the house at the end of each term; 3/5 majority to end appointment. Ideally the house will be proportional.
Senators, representatives, presidents and judges/justices should all get no more than 12 years max total.
@Igor Slightly disagree ….. no more than 20 years in either the house or the senate. Max 10 terms in house, max of 3 in the senate plus the ability to serve up to 2 years of an unexpired term. Especially with proportional representation (single transferable for senate and mixed-member proportional using single-transferable multi-member districts and statewide party vote for house) the odds of people sticking around even that long are low.
I also think both chambers should be expanded (using the Wyoming rule for the house – but the smallest state would start with 4 seats not 1; senate would have 14 senators per state – the quarter of states with smallest populations would ideally get 12 senators instead of 14 but that probably won’t go over well), with 1/7th of senators (2 of the 14 in each state) being appointed. Whereby a senator could only be elected or appointed for no more than 2 terms…. thus in order to stay in the senate they’d have to seek the other form of obtaining a seat and they’d be limited to a single term under that method. The house would be so diluted per individual member’s vote that who’s there is kind of irrelevant.
3 terms of 12 years for scotus keeps in place the original intent of the founders while at the same time forcing congress to act as a check on the judiciary which they seem to have forgotten that obligation in recent years.

SCOTUS 9 –
ELECT 1 PER YEAR – 9 YEAR TERM ??? OR
ELECT 3 EACH 2ND YEAR FOR 6 YEAR TERMS ???
NONPARTISAN APPV – PENDING CONDORCET — RCV DONE RIGHT.
States are de facto DEAD — due to SCOTUS perversions of 1-8-1 general welfare (since 1936) and 1-8-3 inter-state commerce (since 1870s) cls.
SCOTUS State destroyers — due to being appointed by monarch prezs and confirmed by minority rule senate gerrymander hacks.
Life tenured Supreme Court Justices all appointed by the duopoly politicians are the anchor of duopoly entrenchment by rigging election laws to suppress voter choice. Those politicians will not cut their anchor chain.
@ Pyramid Pile of Penis…. That’s cool…. at least I don’t engage in ad hominem acts. And btw I have an iq of 157…. but keep on keeping on with your ad hominems, doesn’t phase me nor does it change reality. I presented a reasonable working alteration to our government that pulls from multiple existing working government around the world, like Australia (senate especially), New Zealand, Sweden, and Germany.
Forgot to mention in my prior post, that I did reconsider my position after Igor’s post; I think reducing soctus to 2 terms of 12 years, and while keeping the same mechanisms that I suggested for House and Senate, but having a total cap for congress overall of a total of 24 years combined in either chamber would be useful. So say 3 senate terms and 3 house terms, or 2 senate terms and 6 house terms, or filling a senate vacancy for 2 years then 3 senate terms then a max of 2 house terms, or 10 terms in the house (and none in the senate since that would push them to 26 years), etc. As a result a total congressional career would be a max of 24 years, a total scotus career would be 24 years, and president wouldn’t change, still 8 years.
My IQ is 200 you simple-minded bitch.
Now that that’s settled can you explain to everyone here why you’re using a fake name and IP anonymizers?
Penis shoots…Penis scores!
That’s nuts!
Is “Aiden” Paul?
Is “Igor” Paul?
Is “Pyramid pile of penis” Paul?
Is “demo rep” Paul?
Is “Dick” Paul?
Is “Waco Jules” Paul?

Is anyone not Paul?
Is *Paul* *Paul* ???
Correct answer folk gets a very cheap fast food gut bomb ???
Everything is Paul. There is nothing and no one which is not Paul.
Wrong! There is no Paul!
Is Paul the Walrus, or the Egg Man, or is Paul dead?
Guess what? George Floyd is still dead. And that’s not a bad thing. The world is a better place without a drug addict criminal who pulled a gun on a pregnant woman. He is not a hero despite all the lies echoed throughout the media. Thank you Officer Chauvin for your service.
Chauvin did not have a fair trial. First of all, the judge should have changed the venue due to the threats of violence from Antifa and BLM. Second, the jury should have been sequestered so they would not have been prejudiced by the police shooting in Brooklyn Center and the comments of Congresswoman Watters. The judge erred when he did not grant a mistrial before the deliberation. If we actually have a fair system, Chauvin’s verdict will be overturned on appeal. If not, we simply live in a mobocracy.
In truth, George Floyd is guilty. He murdered himself and anyone following the case objectively would conclude that. He said he could not breathe when initially placed in the police car. If the police were able to deal with his resistance and left him there he still would have died, either in the police car en route to jail or in the jail. Why? Because just as happened two months before he died, Floyd was overdosing on fentanyl and meth. In addition, he suffered from severe heart disease due to the abuse he placed on his body.
This case is in fact a turning point. It is awakening many people to the truth. It is a major red pill event. We see the truth through the media and politician lies.
The more you push George Floyd down our throats and make us worship a crackhead, the more you continue to push false narratives contrary to the truth, and the more you discriminate against us based on our race; the more that will come over to our side and embrace reality. We don’t care if you call us racists or wight supremacists. Those words mean nothing. We are on the side of truth and justice and that’s all that matters.
Well said!
Who made the fake $20 leading to the Floyd trial ???
