Washington Post calls for term limits for Supreme Court justices
Fox News
In the wake of President Biden's executive order studying Supreme Court reform, the Washington Post editorial board called for justices to have 18-year term limits.
Biden said the court system was "out of whack" in a "60 minutes" interview during his campaign for president, and promised to establish a commission to investigate solutions. The 36-member bipartisan commission will hold public meetings and is directed to complete its report within 180 days. "Term limits should be high on Mr. Biden’s commission’s agenda," the editorial board wrote, arguing the broad scope of the White House’s commission would allow the members to fully explore "replacing life tenure…with an 18-year term." The Post’s recommendation aligns with past calls from Democrats for term limits being placed on Supreme Court justices, including legislation introduced to Congress last year in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death that would have limited their time on the bench to 18 years.More Related News
