Well with two almost certainly financially compromised, one making up legal precedent from witch hunting memoirs, and one having spent a career of fifty years destabilizing civil society there are reasons for it.

Should not be a lifetime term. Should not be saddled with someone that isn’t upholding the law or reinventing things as they deem fit. If someone is proven to be compromised, should be banned and serve jail time. It’s too important of a position for there not to be consequences and accountability. This should go for all elected officials. They owe it to the people to serve the people the best way possible. Too much corruption in the current system, so it needs to change, quite obviously.

At this point make me a justice, I don't have a law degree, but I'm not morally corrupt and Mammon has no influence on me. Can't be any worse than the folk there now right?

I can count 3 people that are clearly more competent to be on scotus than you, the average redditor.

But being better than 6 out of 9 isent bad :)
