#6 The primary qualification for public office is that they have to be dragged into office, screaming and kicking. Nobody who want's it is trustworthy.

#7 The forty to fifty year lock the Dems had on SCOTUS is close to being broken - of course they want to change the rules again.

#8 Need to go by Article V amending process. Any bill will be challenged in court. You think you'll get an unbiased ruling?

#9 Add in term limits for Senators and Congressmen and we'll talk.

#10 “Under no circumstance should those who want to rule be allowed to do so.”
Read that somewhere. Seems like excellent advice.

#11 I don't see anything in the Constitution that says anything on the number or term of Supreme Court Justices. Seems to imply it is up to Congress.

#12 ...I point out again, it will be challenged in court. Think you'll get an unbiased hearing?

You are dealing with a branch of the government that has expanded its purview and power for the last 60 years unconstrained.

#16 How many years has Pelosi been in office?

And a change like this requires an amendment. Pelosi as usual ignores the constitution.

Lets put in term limits for the lot of them.

8 years is enough for President so 8 years is enough for representatives.

2 terms is enough for President to 2 terms is enough for Senate.

Make it 16 years for justices, with one reappointment of 16 years, with senatorial advise and consent.

#17 Term limits for everyone!

Up the 2 year for representatives to 6 years like the senate. You get 2 terms for the house and 2 years for the senate.

Expand the supreme court to 50 and each state gets to appoint their own justice for a term of 1 year. Vice-president is the tie breaker.
