I suspect, based on your comment, that you and I have a fair amount of conflict in our expressed politics. (I was firmly in the “May RBG hang on for dear life” camp.) Nevertheless, I agree with the core tenet here: term limits would be a major improvement for the SCOTUS, even if relatively lengthy. They would mitigate for all involved parties the otherwise daunting threat of a particular personality, potentially ideologically incompatible with one’s own worldview, holding sway open-endedly and potentially for a generation. (Separately: I found that the NPR link didn’t work for me at first, and checked NYT; they had not yet posted an obit.)
