we need to capitalize on these 2 conflicting, murderous decisions by the Court. People to vote out the republicans all over the country. Get Democratic majorities in both Houses, pack the Court, make the laws that save people and recognize that women are human. There should be a huge backlash. If only the media would go along and start reporting facts instead of consistently giving air time to people who don't reside in reality, let alone care about people, fairness, democracy, etc.

Included for elected and appointed officials in any of the three branches. Now what that age should be can be debated. But for the judiciary I'm saying 75. Could also set a term limit of 25 years - in many jurisdictions worldwide that's considered a life sentence. Alito to is 72, Thomas is 74.
