What would it take to change Supreme Court tenure to 10 years?

88. Running the government in 1789 was vastly simpler

than running the government is some 250 years later.

I do believe that certain senior Democrats should be retiring, but whenever I dare say that and name names here on DU I get alerted on. But my issue tends to be an age one. If someone who is in the 8th or 9th decade of life is still running for re-election, and there's no sense of paving the way for someone younger, that's an issue.

Which is vastly different from a 10 year term limit. Especially a ten year term limit for Supreme Court justices. As has already been pointed out, every single year there would be a new Justice appointed, and the political uproar over the nominees would stop everything. Or if the President is not of the same party as the Senate, after a few years we'd be down to four or five Justices. Not a good idea.

Let me put it this way: would you want only to be seen by a physician with ten or fewer years of experience?
