HOUSE RESOLUTION: Judiciary Term Limit Amendment (Failed)

[Blair]

To give an actual example of how much respect I have for the current court I'll tell a story... a couple of months ago we had a pressing issue involving a voting law in the South. I contacted Windjammer asking him to get information on the Evergreen v Rpyror case, only to be told very bluntly by him that he couldn't say anything to me as it could soon 'be an issue for the court'.

We have a very good set of justices on the court, and I've always opposed term limits for judges (IIRC I didn't want them when I was in the Northern Committee, and in both US and UK RL politics I've opposed them, because they've often used as a crude political tool.

We have a very precise tool for getting rid of bad justices, which is impeachment. It's a bad idea to change this precise tool into a blunt hammer that would weaken the quality of the court
