@QasimRashid I'd be in favor but term limits for SCOTUS is definitely outside of Congress power under the Constitution

@BoredomFestival
It seems like Article III is not very clear on this. I've got a link to a Brennan Center for Justice article that describes why in a previous comment...

I'd really like to find out if there actually is a definite answer, so please share if you know of one

@[email protected] Alrighty, seems like there is nothing definite in Article III on this, but here's a great article from the Brennan Center... https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/policy-solutions/supreme-court-term-limits Specifically, about halfway down, the section on "The Constitutionality of Implementation by Statute" @[email protected]
