The long-shot proposal by Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vermont) and outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin III (I-West Virginia) would impose 18-year term limits on new justices.

The Republican Party has a packed court.

I doubt they'll agree to term limits.

"and outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin III (I-West Virginia)"

Good thing this guy is leaving and being replaced by a pro-Trump Republican, eh?

He was useless for democrats.

He stood against them every chance he got.

The ONLY thing that dirtbag did for Democrats was officially caucus with them, the ONLY thing it did for them was keep McConnell out of the majority leader seat.

That's not nothing. But it's sure not much.

OH look! Democrats trying to change rules again.

When the court was majority Democrat, we didnt hear these things, did we?

When the Dems were in a Majority, we didn't have the scandal of Justices taking bribes and twisting the Law to fit the needs of the criminal traitor who appointed them.

Well Nixon was president then, might have been a bit of a distraction.

What are you complaining about?

18 years is plenty of time for a person to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.
