Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

My friend. I am not confusing anything. However, you are very much confusing reality with fantasy and arguing as if that fantasy is real.
This is a hypothetical. You are arguing as if it is real. It is not. I could just as easily assume the opposite would be true. That term limits would have completely prevented this current situation of a 6-3 court. Because it unquestionably would have if the terms were short enough. So even if we were talking about theoreticals here, your outcome is much less likely and shouldn't be assumed as true.
Again. Another hypothetical to explain a clear shortcoming with a lack of term limits. We weren't lucky. At all.
Your comment is more an insight into how you are personally coping with what a lack of term limits have done to this country rather than a debate over their necessity.
I mean honestly, I think you are basically dillusional if you can't agree that the current Supreme Court has corruption there for life - and the only fix to prevent that happening is term limits.
Literally this has now been proven to not work with lifetime appointments. Cause and effect has lead us to lifetime appointed judges working towards the interest of themselves rather than the people. We live in an absolutley unquestionable reality where lifetime appointments to the judiciary have directly caused that judiciary to no longer be Independant from the President. They literally ruled for Trump to be King while Biden was still in office ffs.
If you want to talk about cause and effect, how about we start in reality - do you think term limits would fix the current SC?
No because 6 out of 9 can pretend term limits are illegal if passed by law and a constitutional amendment that harms either sides power is practically impossiblle.
If implemented prior I think they would as likely have ended in a court as bad or worse
I don't think that.
This whole collection of people supporting recent legislature to enact SC term limits doesn't think that either: https://fixthecourt.com/fix/term-limits/
If you want to think the contrary, go for it. I clearly think otherwise.
What happens when 6 of 9 tell you term limits aren't real exactly?
