Maybe you guys should have thought about that when you stuck your big ham-hands into the electoral fiasco known as the '00 Florida election.

The court needs a massive overhaul.

To even pretend that they are apolitical is to suspend reality.

we need term limits for ALL government "employees".

We have 300 million people in this land, and there's no shortage of dedicated smart people who could do a better job.

SCOTUS nominees should be at LEAST 55 years old and should have a mandatory retirement age of 70.

A 55 year old person would have had plenty of "career-time" to have a paper trail, and their children would have probably been out of the nest by then, so they could have the time to dedicate to the court.

and with a 15 year max term, crazy mistakes would not last for 50 years..

I would also like a provision in there that would eliminate ANYONE who ever made a political contribution to ANY party or candidate..

Judges are supposed to be impartial..

but then, that's just me :)
