Spartacus needs a remedial course in the Constitution which says Supreme Court Justices serve for life. Term limits would require a constitutional amendment.
Via Free Beacon:
Sen. Cory Booker (D., NJ) told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews he wants to explore term limits for Supreme Court justices and suggested the Republican Party stole a seat on the court.
“Eric Holder, the former AG, is talking about expanding the number of people on the United States Supreme Court beyond nine to get more progressives on there. Where are you on that?” Matthews asked.
“I think we need to fix the Supreme Court. I think they stole a Supreme Court seat,” Booker responded.
“Should we keep it at nine?” Matthews asked.
“I think I would like to start exploring a lot of options and we should have a national conversation,” Booker said. “Term limits for Supreme Court justices might be one thing, to give every president the ability to choose three, with people holding on to those seats in ways that I don’t think is necessarily healthy.”
“Age limit?” Matthews pressed.
“Look, I think we — term limits might be a better way of saying that,” Booker said.
