1. Terrible idea.

This would take 20 years. The constitution gives Congress the power to regulate the courts. It is debatable whether that includes term limits. But there is no question that legislation can define the duties of Justices as well as ethical standards. Congress can and should expand the court and place the longest serving Justices into an advisory, non- voting status.

That can happen the day we hold the Presidency, a House majority and 50 Senators who will repeal the filibuster.
