Jack, there is a growing consensus across the political spectrum that term limits for the Supreme Court are essential. Term limits reaffirm the principles of democracy, accountability, and adaptability foundational to the American judicial system.

SIGN THE PETITION

Various groups and legal scholars have proposed limiting Supreme Court justices to 18 years of service. This change would prevent the lifetime appointment system from allowing justices to serve for decades and ensure that the Court better reflects the current state of American values and society. It would also reduce the politicization of the Court by making the appointment process more predictable and less influenced by the timing of vacancies.

The average tenure of justices has significantly increased, with many now serving well beyond the historical norm. An 18-year term limit aligns with the average service length of justices throughout history.

By embracing term limits, the United States can ensure that its highest Court evolves with the nation, maintains its integrity, and continues to serve the best interests of its people.
