I like the concept of this bill, but I think that even three years is a bit long for someone to be holding the same position.

I've decided to oppose this.  There is a difference between expanding the Court and forcing Justices to be reappointed.  This bill would require Justices to essentially rule in a way that would please potential future Presidents, and I cannot support that.

Would you change your opinion on this amendment if we were to, perhaps, prohibit justices from being reappointed for a period of time?

I'm going to call this one unfriendly because I don't think it would affect the politicization problem it was intended to solves at all.

How long should it be, then?

I thought the point was to get rid of re-appointments? All this does is limit them to three terms.

Oh, I thought we were allowing re-appointments after a certain amount of time.

I'll just withdraw my amendment, then.

I should have mentioned this earlier, but if we prohibit re-appointments entirely, couldn't that potentially lead to a shortage in potential appointees if there are fewer people available to serve on the Court?
