Bryan HanselOne of the weirdest things in the US is that Supreme Court Justices only need 51 of 100 Senate votes to be put into a lifetime position — earned or not — but officers in the military need 100 of 100 votes to get a promotion that they earned and one nut job senator can prevent the promotion. That's a broken rule that should be changed.
Doug Baker - Elbows Up! 🇨🇦@bryanhansel No, that's TWO broken rules. Judges' tenure should end at 75. So should Senators, maybe even members of the House.
@SonofaGeorge I don't have an issue with older people serving. I've known plenty of people who were whip smart and capable right up to their deaths of old age.
Tony Yarusso@bryanhansel @SonofaGeorge It is very nice to have known end dates rather than constantly wondering when someone is going to die. Canada’s Supreme Court justices have mandatory retirement at 75 and it works well, and with MUCH less drama than ours.
@TonyYarusso @SonofaGeorge I like the idea of term limits better and then make it so each president gets to make one appointment per term or something like that.
