President Trump will get three.

 

[Joes Place]

Huh?

 

[SSG T]

Only if we can give unbiased mental health exams for members of the executive branch.

 

[cigaretteman]

No

 

[Finance85]

We need a Constitutional Amendment to make any changes.

I'd favor mandatory retirement at 80. I'd also favor forcing retirement if the Justice will be out for 6 weeks during a term.

No age limit, but cap max term on Court at 18 years. Apply to any future justices.

I could live with that, though 80+ is too old to be on the scotus or in any significant public office beyond librarian.

Drug tests for all in government. Yearly and random.

 

[hawkeye54545]

Yes. I would prefer 20 or 25 year terms and not lifetime.

 

[JohnBasedow]

I know just the guy.

 

[noleclone2]

Only if applied to Congress and Executive branch and only if a diagnosis of Dementia Alzheimer’s was an immediate DQ.

She isn't going to make it and if Trump still has the option of running in 2020 this will be a huge part of campaign. The question will be if republicans will try to jam someone through if/when she kicks the bucket prior to the election.

I think we both know there will no question at all here.

And if Trump is going to get three he had better hope RBG dies soon. Trump won't make it past summer.

It is like a race....exciting.

 

[Rifler]

And if Trump is going to get three he had better hope RBG dies soon. Trump won't make it past summer.

That will likely be long enough....

I think both Trump and Pence are quite fond of Amy Coney Barrett. You best hope is President Pelosi.

Yup, and the Dems pushed Barrett out front with their treatment of Kavanaugh in the hearings. It will be harder for Dems to be pulling sexual assault accusers out of the woodwork when a woman is nominated.
