It is time to end the job for life in the courts.

I don`t pretend to know how to do this but if we don`t end this somehow this country will not survive. I do not believe that the framers intended for the process to become so political. You have the turtle McConnell, saying that "if the supreme court is controlled by conservatives,we can control the agenda for 30 or 40 years to push our ideals forward." All I can say is term limits must be imposed to stop the destruction that will certainly come with the courts being in control by conservatives.
Here in Florida, it has been reported that Scott (another dangerous asshole) will pack the courts down here with conservatives before he leaves. This guy Scott wants to be president so bad he can taste it. Google him and see how his company ripped off medicare before closing everything and taking millions with him. These dumb ass people elected him twice for governor knowing what he did. Just the kind of person the conservatives like.

1. It will probably be a long time before we get another Warren Court

Not sure how I feel maybe stick with it for the long haul. They should definitely be checked though when they get up there in age I wouldn't want a puppet on the Supreme Court.

2. It's in the Constitution. You can google how that can be amended.

And it's not easy. There have been some 12,000 proposed amendments introduced in the last 200 years and only 27 have passed.

The reason for lifetime appointments was to be sure judges wouldn't be tempted to issue decisions to please the president who appointed them and maybe could also fire them. Electing judges, which some states do, is an even worse idea and almost always leads to bad, corrupt courts. See, for example, Wisconsin.

3. Maybe we can expand the court, I like the number 25.
