John,
Lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court have created an elite class of justices, immune to the consequences of their actions and decisions.
The lack of Supreme Court term limits fosters an environment ripe for corruption, where decisions can be swayed by long-standing political affiliations, personal biases, or worse, the interests of the powerful few who have their ears.
From Justice Clarence Thomas's failure to disclose luxury trips funded by a wealthy donor to Justice Samuel Alito's participation in a case involving a company in which he held stock, it’s clear that as time goes by impartiality and accountability are increasingly compromised.
It’s time for term limits for Supreme Court justices. We must liberate our highest court from the stranglehold of lifetime tenure.
Demand integrity, transparency, and accountability in our highest court. Sign the petition: The Supreme Court needs term limits.
Becoming a Supreme Court justice isn't a lifetime achievement award, it's a position that determines the fate of millions. Their decisions shape our rights, our laws, and our lives.
Why should they hold this power indefinitely?
When justices can serve for life, they become susceptible to outside influences, insulated from accountability, and detached from the societal realities their decisions impact.
Justices should be servants of the law and the people, not lifetime monarchs ruling from an ivory tower.
Each term that passes without limits only entrenches corruption deeper into our legal system, eroding trust and justice. Sign the petition: The Supreme Court needs term limits.
