The rules governing the Supreme Court must be updated to reflect the realities of modern life. The average tenure of a Supreme Court justice has significantly lengthened since the establishment of the federal judiciary in the 1700s, giving outsize power to nine individuals in a way never imagined by the framers of the Constitution. This longevity has also resulted in a lack of regularity in vacancies, introducing further randomness into the judicial selection process. As a result, the confirmation process for the highest court has turned into a political sideshow. This state of affairs in untenable. Policymakers must address these issues and enact legislation creating term limits for justices.

Please join the Center for American Progress for a discussion on the importance of term limits for the U.S. Supreme Court—featuring professor Jamal Greene, Gabe Roth from Fix the Court, and Caroline Fredrickson from the Brennan Center for Justice.
