President Biden doesn’t want to change things…..
Neither does House Speaker Pelosi….
But?
With a Commission in the offering?
Several idea’s will be thrown around…
Including term limits and an increase in the numbers of justices composing the nations’ high court….
The fate of adding justices, also known as “court-packing,” seems sealed from the outset. Democrats are pushing it as a response to Republicans’ successful gamesmanship with recent Supreme Court nominees, but they have just 50 votes in the Senate and no real prospect of making it law. At this point, it’s more of a messaging bill than anything else — an attempt to impact the debate. And indeed, Biden’s move to set up a commission is largely seen as an effort to kick the can down the road on an idea which he doesn’t support but is big in parts of the liberal base.
But that doesn’t mean other changes short of court-packing couldn’t be considered. And there are some interesting ones floating around…
I’m opposed to increasing the size of the Court;however, I am interested in a mandatory retirement age.
Most state courts have such.
In S.C. it’s 72.
I can go for age and term limits for Supreme’s
All this IS POLITICS of course…
