Should Supreme Court justices have 18 year term limits?

Each president would get two appointments per four year term

No. The purpose of our system is to make changing things difficult. That makes it very hard for communism/fascism to take over, and very hard to make any substantive changes. But it has to be purposeful and not on a whim. Justices who are old and stubborn are actually holding our republic together.

18 years is a long fucking time.

You want justices in their 80s? With dementia?
