Biden vs. The Supreme Court. Ready to propose term limits etc.....
- Thread starter Saysumthinfunnymike
- Start date
Term limits for the Supreme Court is more important. At least congress gets voted in, a lifetime appointment is nasty work.No mention of term limits for Congress?
Tangible verdict: Rejected
Better late than never. It's been building up since clarence got caught up.YEARS & YEARS...... late...
A good decision is a good decision no matter how long it takes!YEARS & YEARS...... late...
I mean sure but
if anything ALL of washington needs term limits not just the courts.. that's the problem...
Saysumthinfunnymike
VOTE!!!
You have to walk before you can run.I mean sure but
The supreme court is the main one right now. At least get the conversation started because the court will become aggressively right wing as their numbers go down.
this is gonna fail...
I'm really not a fan of term limits for congress. It's tough to get legitimate reasoning why. Those guys have constituents that vote for them every term. The Supreme Court needs them tho. It should have happened a million years ago.I mean sure but

It's part of the strategy.
"Look at what we are trying to do for you and look at who is trying to stop it. We care about improving your lives, they only care about improving theirs."
They'll have hard evidence.
We tried to do X and they blocked it.
We tried to do Y and they blocked it.
We tried to do Z and they blocked it.
We know these are the things you want because you said so in so many polls and with your vote when you voted for our platform. Look who cares more about themselves than America.
We offer you the things you want. They offer you nothing, in fact they offer you less than nothing. They want to take what little is left while cutting taxes on people who make more money every year than you and five of your neighbors combined.
If election day is a federal holiday
If felons were allowed to vote(seeing as apparently one can run for office)
If gerrymandering was made illegal
If there were term limits for all elected and appointed positions.
You will have killed the republican party and forced it to turn into a party that actually has to win people over with legitimate policies instead of just appealing to prejudice. They have no plan for climate change even as natural disasters wipe away lives and property. They have no plan for housing even as businesses buy up the little affordable housing left and jack up the price. They have no plan for increasing access to medication and doctors. They have no plan for addressing the population decline. They have no plan for bringing jobs back to America while China continues to invest in its own manufacturing and businesses which will compete aggressively. They have nothing other than a promise to make life harder for other people that don't even have the power to affect others standard of living.

Most of the country has mandatory retirement for judges. Why shouldn't it apply to the Supreme Court?
Well, we can start with the fact that the House wasn't always 435, it grew to that number.
And districts are bigger than ever. Average house district has 760k people in it. In the 1980s, it was 500k. In the 1790s, it was 34k.
If the House won't expand, forcing new blood in constantly with term limits will get a government that reflects the people better.

Just the stuff he’s been proposing alone should quell any fears people have of Trump taking the office in 2025. Executable or not they are great ideas that people are going to get behind pause
I have a hard time agreeing here, but Im open to the conversation.

If the people are participating in the process, new blood will show up where it’s necessary. Congress’ committee appointments are usually earned by tenure. And that tenure is important because congressional matters can get complicated and you want someone leading the committee that knows the ropes.
