No term limits. A major aspect of a Justice's service is that they serve for life. As for age requirements, I believe it's already required that they be a certain age (50, I think) to serve on the court.

I have to say no to term or age limits. SC Justices plan their retirements (if they even decide to retire) dependent upon who will likely be in office at the time they retire (left leaning judges wait to retire until a democrat is in office and vice versa).

I am sorry to see so many people wanting to continue to grant to Justices so much power...

It is undemocratic,almost dictatorial...
The justices are another kind of politicians...
They should be directly elected & certainly face anti-monopoly limitations,such as mandatory retirement & term limits...

The populist anti-monopoly legislation ,concerning companies, exists for...100 years...

Don't we need minor,sensible anti-monopoly legislation for politicians & political persons like Justices..?
