You're going to have to explain your choice of responsive images. I thought you would go with something like this...
Rarely agreed with her decisions but respected her. The Scalias and Ginsbergs were close. They were often on opposite sides of judicial decisions, yet still were able to work together in a civil manner. Condolences to her family.

They were more than close. Attended operas together. They often went on vacations together. Wish we could just get along as well.Rarely agreed with her decisions but respected her.

Operas have that effect on people. 😊They were more than close. Attended operas together. They often went on vacations together. Wish we could just get along as well.
I should have recommended that one to Felli when he was in his decor phase. 😇
Yeah, he was really counting on your recommendations for his torture chamber, I mean bedroom. Where is that madman?I should have recommended that one to Felli. 😇
Agree. Term limits is long overdueNo disrespect to RBG but IMO it's silly that it's a lifetime appointment and as a result some say on as long as they can. Make it 25 years. That's enough for anyone. And while you're at it, put the same limit on the amount of time people can be in Congress.
An overwhelming % of Americans prefer term limits, but don't understand one of the biggest failings in our democracy. "We The People" don't get to vote on term limits --- Congress does. That may explain why it will never get done. Every voter, regardless of party, should ask candidates for the House or the Senate "Are you in favor of term limits" and, if so, "Will you go on record as supporting that". And even if they answer "yes" to each question, they probably won't act. Our forefathers blew it on this one!No disrespect to RBG but IMO it's silly that it's a lifetime appointment and as a result some say on as long as they can. Make it 25 years.

True term limits will require an amendment to the Constitution. Congress has to put that in motion (which is self-defeating). Another possibility is a Constitutional Convention - which 10 years ago I would have laughed at, but now think that's where we're heading.An overwhelming % of Americans desire term limits, but don't understand one of the biggest failings in our democracy.

For what it's worth, I do not favor term limits, but I do believe the Supreme Court should have a mandatory retirement age of 75.Agree. Term limits is long overdue
There already are term limits. They’re called elections.An overwhelming % of Americans prefer term limits, but don't understand one of the biggest failings in our democracy.

Not totally sold on term limits for Supreme Court justices, but an age limit is a great idea and 75 is reasonable. 👍👍For what it's worth, I do not favor term limits, but I do believe the Supreme Court should have a mandatory retirement age of 75.
There are a lot of arguments that can be made for term limits / age limits for Supreme Court justices. However, RBG’s service and her death are one of the worst arguments for term limits that I can think of. Please go read the coverage of her death on Fox News and CNN. She is one of the few public figures who both sides of the aisle truly appreciated as a great American and recognize as a great loss. She transcended politics in a way that few in our day and age have been able to do. She served our country well until her death and is the definition of someone who deserved to leave on her own terms. I know there are examples to the contrary but my point is that RBG’s service is an argument in favor of, not against, lifetime appointments.No disrespect to RBG but IMO it's silly that it's a lifetime appointment and as a result some say on as long as they can.

You don’t know voters very well.There already are term limits. They’re called elections.

I think it’s an interesting phenomenon. Everybody hates congress, but likes their congressman. Everybody is for term limits, but re-electS their congressman over and over again.You don’t know voters very well.
True, but in actuality perhaps not completely true. Due to gerrymandering, the voting districts for many House and Senate seats have been set up to always be "safe" for one of the two parties. Both Republicans and Democrats have historically been complicit in this practice. It's a big reason why such a high percentage of incumbents are returned to office --- they almost can't lose.There already are term limits. They’re called elections.
