Why do I want term SCOTUS limits and abolition of the electoral college

whenever days like this pop up? Is this a "bad loser" attitude that I have or are these non partisan positions that are valid issues due to the current population of the US since the constitution was written over 250 years ago?

Pilots have to retire at 65. Sounds good to me for a SCOTUS. Our culture changes faster than it ever has and we need a judiciary that can keep up with those changes.

Would we have to change the constitution? How many votes does that take? Would the prez have to OK it?
