Ruth Bader Ginsburg Resists Retirement Pressure:

WASHINGTON, July 4 (Reuters) – At age 80, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, leader of the U.S. Supreme Court’s liberal wing, says she is in excellent health, even lifting weights despite having cracked a pair of ribs again, and plans to stay several more years on the bench.

I have been blogging about this  for quit some time. In years past some of the older supreme justices had to be wheeled in and out of their chambers. They have no business as decisions makers for this country.

There have been many occasions where some of these “spring chickens” had to be woke up during a session. I wonder how she voted that day?

I want to be fair about this. Is there any other government job that has the same benefits as the supreme court justices, especially that they are not voted in but appointed?  No one should be appointed for life;  8 years is long enough for anyone to hold an office.

I don’t even want to mention that they receive full pay for the rest of their life if they served 10 years on the bench; between 213K – 230K. They sure don’t need the money.

For the same reason a president can’t serve more than 8 years “absolute power/control” neither should the top law makers have a strangle hold for life on all of the decisions that control the country.

It should be the same principle as a driver that gets too old to be behind the wheel. It is a hard decision to make, they hate to give it up but it is something that has to be done. Go park it Charlie.

I have the solution. Let us ask the Supreme Court to rule on the retirement guidelines. Just like all of their other decisions it will take the about 12 years, maybe and about 6,000 pages of documents for their reply.
