We elect the President, the senate and the house, why not elect the supreme court?

I do feel it a great thing. To implement term limits upon it.

Term limits for every government official or employee.

I think we not only need term limits on the highest positions such as Congress and Supreme Court but we also need a maximum age. We already have a minimum age so why not a maximum age? Then maybe we could avoid some of the politicians serving when they are becoming senile. If we set a maximum age at 70, then we end up with politicians who at least still have some connection to the current population, even if only grandchildren.

Agreed, Albert.

Then end their insider trading they all get rich from.

Typical liberal whining. You lose a few cases and you're ready to blow up the system.

Here's mine on the Legislative Branch

Senate-no more than 2 terms...that's 12 years

House-no more than 6 terms...that's 12 years

12 to 24 years in Washington is more than long enough

I think it should be when the Justices Age plus Years of service on the Supreme Court equals 75 they must retire.

Lets start with congress.

Good idea or bad?
