Senate Democrats introduced legislation on Thursday to place term limits on Supreme Court justices, reigniting debate around the issue championed by Democrats in the House and the Senate.
I’d love to know under what conditions this proposal is constitutional.
The supreme court is a right wing sclerotic fistula providing passage to creeping fascism, but reinterpreting Article 3 Section 1 is a tall order. By only saying that justices shall “hold their offices during good behavior” the Constitution is traditionally read to mean that only impeachment, retirement, or death will end a term.
