What is the problem with term limiting them, and why?

Gatsby

Woody, You really do need to Read the Constitution someday, if you are able to comprehend, you will find the answer.

Why are you unable to do even the most basic research, on any topic?

You have consistently shown that you believe you are much smarter than any of the founding fathers but they had wisdom in not giving term limits to the SCOTUS and other federal judges. They wanted decisions made on the Constitution and not the political climate of the day. It is known that all justices have not done that, but that is the goal. The fact that the liberals of today are striking out against the justices who have been making Constitutional decisions bolsters that argument as do their calls to pack the court with justices who do not. That would only lead to more packing in the future.

Yup..... you only give 2 s**ts now as the court isn't eat up with ignorant liberals.

There is no problem other than your butthurt over being limited of where and how many babies you can k**l.

We can talk term limits when ( 30yrs) and if your pathetic side ever gains the advantage again.

Till then........ it's working awsome as it stands, no need for liberals to break what doesn't need fixing.... like usual.

All about the narrative...... to fill that narrative many lies and stupid beyond belief statements must be made as the liberal masses believe anything that fits that ever so important narrative of stupid..... common sense is not a liberal strength, it's their albatross and they fear it.

Term limits should begin in US Congress first ( But it will never happened) . These Democrats want ALL the power !

You are right, there is nothing wrong with it. Funny that you bring this up now that Conservatives have a strong majority. I betcha betcha betcha that if things were reversed, with Liberals holding such a majority, and I asked exactly your same question, you would be screaming bloody murder and calling me a N**i for daring to challenge the Constitution.

That's not a bet at all! That's as true and as sure as the sun rising tomorrow! And if Trump had ever suggested such a thing Woody would have demanded that he be impeached.

You can always accuse a liberal of hypocrisy, and have a reasonable level of confidence that you are right.

He actually, for once makes a sort of valid point. Federal judges, including the SCOTUS are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. These lifetime appointments are basically a reflection of the policies of whichever party controls the White House and Senate. If a candidate for a judgeship is not in step with the politics of whoever is president and in control of the Senate they will never be nominated in the first place. While we have a Conservative majority now, we had to live through decades of Liberal bulls**t to get there. I would favor a Constitutional Amendment that requires term limits on the Federal Judiciary. As far as term limits for Congress, we already have them; they are called e******ns. What is needed is an overhaul of a system that allows incumbent Senators to be reelected at a rate of more than 95%, and incumbent Representatives at a rate of more than 80%.
Any politician who needs more than two terms to steal enough taxpayer money to do him or her the rest of their lives is not smart enought to represent me.

LOL
Valid points.

A good example is the stupid way California did term limits. The pols just term out and then run for another job and when that terms out they run for a different. If term limits said you can serve for six or eight years then go home never to run again for a government job I would support that. Also every law that is passed falls on the elected ones also. No 'for thee and not for me' rules.
Our Congress, House and Senate, need to be renamed 'The House of Peers' to more accurately reflect the the entitlement those officials believe they are owed.

We couldn’t do it when the lefty’s ran the country!! Live with it! Finally we have constitutional judges! Limit three term politicians and impose retirements

A Constitutional Convention is the only way America will ever get term limits and a balanced budget act. The elected swamp dwelling scumbags will never do it...
