Electing judges is an awful idea and mandatory retirement ages strike me as discriminatory, so I'm really not sure that there's any feasible option better than the current system.

Why not fixed terms? It's really the only option that makes sense.

I'll concede that there's some merit to that idea, yeah. Maybe a decade or two.
