Is it legal for dead people to vote in elections? No, it isn't !
So, why is it legal for brain dead justices to vote in the Supreme Court?
Instead of pushing a constitutional amendment to impose term limits
on the Supreme Court justices, why not require them to periodically pass a
simple test of cognitive ability? e.g. similar to those tests which are administered to people
applying for long term care insurance (in order to guard against early onset of Alzheimer's or
general senility).
In the latter case, if you fail, you are not eligible for insurance, or, maybe you
are eligible for insurance, but at a higher premium rate.
In the former case of the SCOTUS justices, if / when they fail. they would win a free long
term care insurance policy - under the condition that they vacate their position on the bench.
