WOW: Libs Want To Amend The Constitution To Protect Ruth Bader Ginsburg

That is incorrect. The average lifespan in the late 1700s was around 35. A 50 year old was a very old elderly person. There is no way the founding fathers could have predicted politicians trying to stay in office for 100 years or more. Political office was necessarily 'temporary'. Because life itself was temporary in those days.

As medicine and lifespans continue to increase, in 50 years and without term limits, a politician with an insatiable lust for power at any costs could theoretically stay in office indefinitely. As more and more of these corrupt parasites come into office, eventually elections will never change anything. The same people will just keep getting reelected over and over forever. 20% of Congress is like that now, and the percentage will only increase over time.

Nah, that's a myth more than anything. That average is skewed, since you had just as much of a chance of dying at age 5 as you did at age 65; child mortality was a real problem back then. Washington died at 67; Jefferson was 82, Ben Franklin 84, John Adams 90.

In reality, for those able to stay healthy, maximum life expectancy hasn't budged.

I thought about that. Also, no doubt they are including all the infants which died at birth. And wars and plagues would also warp the result. Those would certainly skew the average way down. However, even with that the people you cited were anomalies and certainly not the norm. People achieving those recorded ages back then, and in the world at large even today, were no where near as prevalent as it is today in America.

Death in childbirth (or from infection) was more common then, too.

And yet here we are in 2018 and every ruling at the federal level is political.

And you want more of that?

And you want more of that?

Did I say that? 

No I didn't.

No one here is saying the judges need to run in an election.  Let them still got through the nomination process like now...but have it only be fore a 15-20 year term and they are done.

I fully support term limits on everyone involved in government.  A judge is nothing special, for lying attorneys are a dime a thousand.  But term limits for all, including legislators.

And the nonsense of Trump replacing RBG with a conservative just does not matter, for the Bush appointed Chief Justice Roberts cannot be counted on for important decisions.  We would not have Obamacare if not for that maggot.  Add another conservative, and I still believe we have a liberal/progressive Supreme Court.

This court of lying attorneys decided in favor of mass genocide to convenience women versus protect the lives of the most vulnerable in our society, the unborn.  In this, we are no different than communist USSR, now Russia, where abortion is the primary means of birth control.

The Constitution and Ruth Ginsburg are fine without Marxist improvements
to The Constitution. It has kept us well for a very long time.

Liberals should have no fear as The Donald will resolve any issues with
Ginsburg.
