Bidens 20 yr term limit on Supreme Court Justices would have an immediate effect on several members of the court .

[AsherN]

He's going to need 2/3 of both houses of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures to approve his amendment. There's no way on God's green earth that will happen.

Of all amendments, I think ones to limit term and impose a Code of Ethics has the most chance.

Limits on who can be on the court and how long they serve should be there. There should be a minimum age, and a minimum amount of time on the bench. The current trend on appointing ever younger members because they'll be there with their agendas longer is not good for the country.

\having set minimum qualifications, I think the court should be expanded to 11, and always have 1 from each circuit. You then go for an 11 year term limit. That means every president replaces 4 Justices during a term But must choose from the Circuit the retiring one comes from.

Term limits and a Code of Ethics for the Supreme Court has zero chance of passing Congress much less getting ratified. You are bordering on delusional. Congress will never pass term limits on itself and a Code of Ethics for just SCOTUS would require a code for all government officials.

 

[Edgetho]

Supreme court justices should be elected.
Just like everyone else.

The whole idea of our SCOTUS system is that it be non-political. But, as usual, enter dims, out goes the Constitution

Your Teachers should have their licenses revoked

There's also the fact that ex post facto laws are unconstitutional as hell. So Joey Shits Pants is just being a typical dimocrap scumbag and talking out of his ass.

if Biden succeeds in getting a 20 yr term limit on the SC it will have an immediate effect on several members of the court ..
Thomas a [republican appointee] and Breyer [ considered by many as a moderate although appointed by a Democrat ] would immediately effected as both have served well over 20yrs .. and then 2 more republican appointees Roberts and Alito would be within 1 to 2 yrs of serving their 20 yr term .. that's 3 republicans gone from the SC ! if Dems win in Nov they could replace 3 conservatives on the court with liberal justices !

Supreme Court Justices

The U.S. Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate to life terms.

supreme.justia.com

No it will be grandfathered

 

[BluesLegend]

So the dementia patient who's served over 40 years, wants to limit SCOTUS justices to 20 years...

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

The whole idea of our SCOTUS system is that it be non-political.

Yeah the idea, that died years ago, like your brain.

But, as usual, enter dims, out goes the Constitution

Really?
When did bribery and presidential immunity, become part of the constitution?

Your Teachers should have their licenses revoked

Your teachers never had any.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The irony of this. He has been in politics how many years now?

Like for 20% of all American history

No they aren't, you dumbass.

Where is there a term limit for SCOTUS mentioned in the constitution?

Why Are There Nine Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court?​

Britannica
https://www.britannica.com › Demystified › World History
This number has ranged between 5 and 10, but since 1869 the number has been set at 9. And the number of justices on the Supreme Court has been politically ...

I do agree with this. To put that term limit in and then force out those justices immediately sounds counterproductive.
And if congress votes to term limit the SC, certainly they can see the need to term limit themselves right?
MAGA

make it an amendment, term limit all federal judges and members of congress

When those sorts of things happen, incumbents are usually grandfathered in. For example, Truman was not bound by a term limit, despite it being passed during his.

 

[struth]

HOW?

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2:

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Doesn't say anything about "Lifetime" terms.

Art 3 sets up the courts and says judges and justice shall have their office so long they are of good behavior

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

So................allowing bribery and immunity is good behaviour?
Of course it is............................. for Trump and his cult.

Sovereign immunity was nothing new.

I have no idea what you are talking about in regards to bribery

Following the law is good behavior

 

[CowboyTed]

~~~~~~
"First, the Constitution does not expressly grant “life tenure” to Supreme Court justices. Rather, this idea has been derived from the language that judges and justices “shall hold their offices during good behaviour.”
Our proposal does not contravene this requirement, as it would keep justices on the federal bench as “senior justices” for life, either serving on lower federal courts, as many retired justices have done, or filling in on SCOTUS if there’s an unexpected vacancy.
Some may still feel that pushing justices into senior status would be too similar to forcing them into retirement. But “senior status” in the judiciary is a congressional creation, and one that has been almost universally accepted as a constitutionally valid interpretation of Article III".

At the same time, we should be demanding 'Term Limits' for Congress and the Senate.
Look at people like Pelosi and Wtaers both are older than Bidem and been in Congress much too long.

SC justices should have term limits and an upper age (80 years)...

For Politicians, No.... If the people want someone they should be allowed to select them...

What I would say is that US should move from First past the Post to Preference Voting... This would allow the voter to choose outside two parties without wasting their vote... This is vital.

I would also have multi-seat districts, this removes the threat of caucusing. This means politicians have to represent everyone in their district instead of just his party base... This dilutes the power of the party into the general voter.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Sovereign immunity was nothing new.

YES, it is, for an American politician.

I have no idea what you are talking about in regards to bribery

That's because FOX doesn't report on anything negative, about their agenda.

Section 201 of Title 18 is entitled "Bribery of public officials and witnesses." The statute comprises two distinct offenses, however, and in common parlance only the first of these is true "bribery."

The first offense, codified in section 201(b), prohibits the giving or accepting of anything of value to or by a public official, if the thing is given "with intent to influence" an official act, or if it is received by the official "in return for being influenced."



The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that a federal anti-bribery law does not make it a crime for state and local officials to accept a gratuity for acts that they have already taken.

Writing for a six-justice majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained that state and local governments already regulate gifts to officials, and so the federal law “does not supplement those state and local rules by subjecting 19 million state and local officials to up to 10 years in federal prison for accepting even commonplace gratuities.”

Following the law is good behavior

They just changed it.

An americsn politician doesn’t have it, the office of the president does for office acts

Gradituty isn’t a bribe

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

An americsn politician doesn’t have it, the office of the president does for office acts

The president does.........NOW.

Gradituty isn’t a bribe

BS.

 

[struth]

The president does.........NOW.

BS.

1) always has, hence why a president hasn’t been prosecuted for official acts before

2) nope it’s true it’s not a bribe.
