If term limits were always good, we'd have them for everything.Can’t disagree and I suspect it’s an election ploy more than anything else.
But maximum terms and codes of ethics and conduct are good things.
The USSC already has a code of ethics, recently adopted, and always had customary standards. The chickensh!t stuff Democrats have been serving up in their attempts to pry loose at least one of the two oldest Republican-appointed justices (Thomas and Alito) is a poor pretext for the sudden interest in the subject. No matter what is done, I suppose Democrats will just keep demanding one more thing. I predict that if they ever feel like they have 5 pliable justices on their side, the activism will stop.
Democrats are enraged that they might have to persuade voters to grant them majorities in Congress that would allow them to legislate things that should be legislated instead of seeking creative separation-of-powers-breaching solutions through courts or executive branch overreach. It affects their judgement, and it shows in their actions. Temper tantrums and political vote-stoking gambits ought not be taken seriously.
