About freaking time: “Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-Maryland) introduced the Reform of Bench Eligibility (ROBE) Act on Monday. The bill would institute 18-year tenures for Supreme Court justices, ensuring a regular rotation of new justices every two years or so and ending the lifetime appointments currently enjoyed by members of the bench.”

Another year end, another SCOTUS missive that completely fails to address the extensive public disregard for the court.

Why address the Court's credibility, when you can play the victim. Right, CJ Roberts?

So...the #SCOTUS refused to hear a case on life-stabilizing medical procedures?

"Originalism" is a great way to ignore current problems, current culture and any concept of justice - and instead empower 9 people to tell us what long-dead slavers wanted for us.

THAT is *not* self-determination

About time! “President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.”

#ClarenceThomas wins by far, because none of the others COULD get away with flagrantly thumbing their noses at democracy if they did not feel empowered and protected by the Chief Justice while doing so.
