The idea that nine UNELECTED, insular, and out-of-touch elites literally possess the power of life and death over an entire nation for as long as they so desire - even if severely afflicted and/or senile - is an abomination of the highest order and the greatest anathema of freedom. One need only review such democracy-destroying rulings as "Citizens United" and "McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission" for concrete proof that absolute power does indeed corrupt absolutely, especially when there is no fear of reprisal or termination. Failing the enactment of term limits, a mandatory retirement age of 65 should be enforced, in addition to all of the rules and regulations that lower court judges are held to, with special emphasis placed on recusal policies, because NO ONE should ever be considered above the law and/or allowed to operate with complete impunity as the Supreme Court has done for far too long now.
Why is this important?
Such democracy-destroying rulings as "Citizens United" and "McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission" have made it abundantly clear that those who consistently put the money of a few above the will of the many must be replaced before they can render even greater harm to the majority of Americans and the very principles they've courageously fought and died for during the past 238 years.
