    There should truly be an age limit for Supreme Court Justices for both Democrats and Republicans. Once you hit 75 it should be mandatory that you have to retire. Not only do you start losing your mental capabilities but people at that age also start becoming very out of touch with the general society.
    This, and term limits for Congress.

        Fair enough.

        So if not the way we do it now, how would you suggest we choose our judges?

        Start with how you say we should choose our SC Justices, please.

          When founded, we certainly didn't trust politicians.

          Sadly, many of us do now.

          Where are you located?

            40m from Manchester. Usyk tickets for the weekend. But I have spent much time in the US. The US is so incredibly advanced in so many ways, but so backward in others. Just different I guess.

              The best government the UK had in my lifetime was a coalition of two very politically opposed parties (Libs and Cons of 2010) and yet they got ***** done.

                You indicated where you are from people dont trust politicians like we in the US do.

                I ask because most other countries obviously trust their politicians than we do, as they've gave their politicians more power over their lives than we have.

                  Not always good things done, however.

                  They then let muslims in by the droves, and made it a crime for you people to speak your minds, for example. That's not good.

                  But when our parties get along we get hosed too. Bipartisanship gave us NAFTA, the bailouts, and Iran war.

                  Bipartisanship for the sake of bipartisanship is often times not only not a good thing, it's a bad thing for the populace.

                    Hand on heart: did Trump pursue the Presidency of the US to serve the people or to have the presidency serve him? John Major was the last PM that we had was working class who made his way up and your believed his heart was in the right place. And that was 20 years ago.

                      I hope her a speedy recovery but 85 is too old to be in any job.
