Why Do Supreme Court Justices Serve for Life? | Mental Floss
I have always been a fan of the mandatory retirement at age 65 for all occupations, public and private. While with age, comes experience and knowledge, I think it's also important that people be able to have a chance to enjoy their final years.
Nobody advocates for letting 10 years old work, why should people in their 70s be forced to work?
How Long Will The Supreme Court’s Conservative Bloc Survive?
It's really hard to know how long Supreme Court Justices will live. It's true that many will live until their 80s but life expectancy is largely random at micro level. A car crash or some other kind of accident could end the life of a justice prematurely.
Oyrez – Reynolds v. Simms
With the Supreme Court confirmation process underway, maybe it's time to re-think how we elect US Senators in our country. It doesn't seem right that New York State gets the same number of Senators as Vermont, as New York has 31 times more people then Vermont.
In Reynolds v. Sims, the Supreme Court ruled that State Governments could not have Senate bodies, elected by one Senator per County. Instead, they had to use proportional representation. Maybe it's time for the Supreme Court to consider if the two US Senators for every state (regardless of population) is constitutional.
