Democrats prepare bill limiting U.S. Supreme Court justice terms to 18 years
|
Kabuki for the rubes — the Senate will never even consider it in committee. Still a warning for what they will do if they get control of House, Senate, and White House all at once.. | [CA.REUTERS] Democrats in of the House of Representatives will introduce a bill next week to limit the tenure of U.S. Supreme Court justices to 18 years from current lifetime appointments, in a bid to reduce partisan warring over vacancies and preserve the court’s legitimacy.
The new bill, seen by Rooters, would allow every president to nominate two justices per four-year term and comes amid heightened political tensions as Republican President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
prepares to announce his third pick for the Supreme Court after the death on Sept. 18 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with just 40 days to go until the Nov. 3 election.
"It would save the country a lot of agony and help lower the temperature over fights for the court that go to the fault lines of cultural issues and is one of the primary things tearing at our social fabric," said Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, who plans to introduce the legislation on Tuesday, along with Representatives Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts and Don Beyer of Virginia.
Partly due to rising life expectancies, justices serve increasingly long tenures, on average now more than 25 years.
