How do we get Supreme Court term limits? I asked a Congressman

Amanda's Mild Takes

Maryland Representative Johnny Olszewski has introduced a bill called the ROBE Act that would finally give us 18 year term limits on the Supreme Court — and it’s actually a Constitutional amendment. We covered:
-what the amendment does
-why an amendment vs. legislation
-why 18 years??
-what he needs from us to move the needle on this

1. Terrible idea.

This would take 20 years. The constitution gives Congress the power to regulate the courts. It is debatable whether that includes term limits. But there is no question that legislation can define the duties of Justices as well as ethical standards. Congress can and should expand the court and place the longest serving Justices into an advisory, non- voting status.

That can happen the day we hold the Presidency, a House majority and 50 Senators who will repeal the filibuster.

2. several of them deserve to b impeached.

the least grounds being they lied to get the job. plus the whole bribery thing.

3. I'm fine with that, but the first step

is to narrow the power of the most corrupt ones. And what I am talking about can happen with a simple majority in both houses, whereas removal through impeachment requires 2/3 of the Senate.

My attitude is, go ahead and let them keep their jobs and full pay until they die, but take their vote away -- and that can be done without a Constitutional amendment or a 2/3 Senate majority.
