Just yesterday I wrote that the Democrat Party is working to destroy the checks-and-balances embodied in our Constitution.
Well, today Joe is on a campaign to "reform" the Supreme Court because Dems don't like some recent decisions. Among other things, he is proposing term limits of 18 years for the Supreme Court Justices and that the President (presumably a Democrat forever) gets to appoint a new Justice every two years.
I find his position to be disturbing and incredibly hypocritical. I quote from his Wapo op-ed this morning. "I served as a U.S. senator for 36 years, including as chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. I have overseen more Supreme Court nominations as senator, vice president and president than anyone living today."

In other words, this dishonest hypocrite thinks it's OK for him to spend 36 years in the Senate, but seeks to place an 18 year limit on the Supreme Court. Let's look at a few other career politicians:
So, I have a rational proposal, Joe. I might support term limits for the Supreme Court if you simultaneously and irrevocably place the same limits on Legislators, in the same bill. As a citizen I will not accept any moves by the Legislative Branch or the Executive Branch to impose restrictions on the Judicial Branch unless the terms are entirely and clearly reciprocal.
Furthermore, since there are two houses, the limits on legislators must be cumulative. You can't serve 18 years in the House and then another 18 in the Senate. It should be 18 Total ... then get a real job.
While I'm thinking about it, I would also demand that anyone who has served their 18 year limit in the legislature should become ineligible to run for President or Vice President. That would keep career politicians like you out of the Oval Office.
But wait ... there's more! If the bill requires standing Justices to step down if they're over the limit then it must also have a reciprocal requirement that members of the Legislature shall also immediately step down. In your own words, Joe ... " Term limits would help ensure that the court’s membership changes with some regularity." Shouldn't this rational apply to the House and Senate, as well??
Finally, I suggest that we call this the Abolish Career Politicians Act.
