Cruz to propose amendment to subject SCOTUS justices to election after 8 years

[SATW]

That's not what the founders intended.

Indeed it is not.

Three things. First, judicial elections are terrible things, and this proposal is correspondingly terrible. Second, one can almost certainly say that the Founders never anticipated a level of partisanship anywhere close to what we have today. Third, if they had, I imagine they would have made judicial appointments even more difficult than they are, which is what I think would be a rather good idea; if I were to propose an amendment it would be to require a supermajority for Supreme Court nominees.
