About this listen

Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life, making the Supreme Court one of the least democratic institutions in the world. Even worse, the Court now plays a political role unforeseen by the Founding Fathers. No other country has this problem. America is alone among modern constitutional democracies in allowing their high-court justices to serve without terms or age limits. Legislation has been proposed to impose term limits on Justice without amending the Constitution by assigning Justices to other judicial roles. This would go a long way toward solving current public dissatisfaction with the modern Court.
