Four justices are now older than Souter was when he retired at age 69. Thomas and Alito, 75, Sotomayor and Roberts, 70. Souter appeared to be in good health at retirement. I admire him for not clinging to power.
- Izikiel43 1y agoAll charges should have an age limit, like 70 for Supreme Court, and 65 for president/legislative. Stop making the government a geriatric
- edmundsauto 1y agoThis is fair if there are minimum age requirements like for the presidency.
- lovich 1y agoNot that I necessarily agree with the OP’s opinion, but who cares about fair when it comes to running the government? It should be about being effective.
- edmundsauto 1y agoHow would you measure effective? I’m not sure we have any way of measuring anything other than “effective at getting elected”.
