Democrat Lawmakers Want SCOTUS Term Limits So They Can Hijack The Court

[b]
Congressional Democrats are waging war on the Supreme Court by moving to implement term limits and end the life tenure of justices.[/b]

On July 26, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., introduced a bill to end life tenure for Supreme Court Justices. The “Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act” proposes to end life tenure and create a system where justices actively serve for 18 years before taking senior status. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., is introducing the bill in the Senate. This is a clear partisan political reaction to the court’s release of a series of excellent decisions this term and contains serious constitutional and logical problems.

Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution vests all judicial power in the courts and states that “[t]he Judges … shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.” This has long been interpreted to give life tenure to Supreme Court justices, as long as they are not impeached due to lack of “good Behaviour.”

How, then, does Congress think it can get away with passing clearly unconstitutional legislation?

It's notable that Democrats are willing to go to extremes, including sabotaging American democracy, for political power.

Another example of their sabotaging the American way is that they also are planning to participate in Republican primaries en masse to result in who they consider the least electable Republican as their opponent in the general election.

When people toss out words like "wicked" when referring to Democrats, they're actually not exaggerating.

And yet it was your party that attempted to overthrow our country in 2020.

@Vin53 Assuming makes an ass out of you, right? I'm an independent voter. I'm not affiliated with any political party.

2020,huh... are you implying the Democrats tried to overthrow America?

@DffrntDrmmr Republicans yes. Following a lie.

DffrntDrmmr · M

@justanothername Your comment is incoherent.

Vin53 · M

Ok, Sean Hannity also calls himself "Independent" please, spare me.
And trump and his cronies moved hell and high water to try and steal the 2020, you know damn well.

@Vin53 Ohhh... you're referring to the unruly protest in 2021, not the Democrats anti-American riots across the country of 2020. Facts matter.

I've never once watched Hannity and don't know what he calls himself, but the fact is I registered as independent at 18-years-old and have remained so all of my life. The last 3 elections I voted in were for Hillary Clinton (as an anti-Trump vote) and both times for Barack Obama. I mostly have voted for moderate Democrats over the years.

There is nothing moderate about that kookfest today.

We're not half-way through Biden's 1st term so you can believe what you want but he's going to pivot very shortly in the polls.

The 2020 riots weren't political and the riot in our capital on the day where out potus gets certified is indeed insurrection my friend.

trumpy boy is going to prison.

@Vin53 If you're so sure, would you care to make a bet? If Trump spends one minute in prison I will send $10 to the DNC. If he doesn't, you send $1 to the RNC! Strictly on the honor system. Will you take that bet?

Limit people voting?
The limits are stuff like citizenship, and voter ID, oh, and being alive - we are kind of picky on that one.

Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M

@Budwick it’s surprising when they controlled the presidential votes they found the republicans cheated
They are also changing the voting zones to make it easier for republicans to win!!

What is surprising to me is that you think you are making sense.

@Strictmichael75 republicans aren't the ones opposed to voter ID/voter integrity laws...
