#1 If you want a republic, no one can sit for life otherwise the institution devolves into one form of aristocracy or another.

#2 I don't know. A SC justice that occupies a place on the bench like place holder, but never shows up for work? I'm looking for a downside here...

Okay unless she's allowed to vote in absentia and her aides are interpreting eye blinks into votes.

#4 Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America by Mark R. Levin.

One of the very best history books on the court's judges. Including several that were completely incapacitated and still (left) on the bench. Pretty chilling.

“America’s founding fathers had a clear and profound vision for what they wanted our federal government to be,” says constitutional scholar Mark R. Levin in his explosive book, Men in Black. “But today, our out-of-control Supreme Court imperiously strikes down laws and imposes new ones to suit its own liberal whims––robbing us of our basic freedoms and the values on which our country was founded.”

In Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America, Levin exposes countless examples of outrageous Supreme Court abuses, from promoting racism in college admissions, expelling God and religion from the public square, forcing states to confer benefits on illegal aliens, and endorsing economic socialism to upholding partial-birth abortion, restraining political speech, and anointing terrorists with rights.

Levin writes: “Barely one hundred justices have served on the United States Supreme Court. They’re unelected, they’re virtually unaccountable, they’re largely unknown to most Americans, and they serve for life…in many ways the justices are more powerful than members of Congress and the president.… As few as five justices can and do dictate economic, cultural, criminal, and security policy for the entire nation.”

#6 So for years and years SCOTUS for life has been a good thing while under Liberal control, now that Conservatives are getting the edge, it's not right to have SCOTUS for life!
RBG needs to show herself, this behind the curtain stuff isn't ok.
This just drives me nuts.
