      The whole idea of lifetime appointments was to make justices incorruptible, not beholden to anyone, and I like that, and it’s mostly worked.

      Just keep paying them for life while barring future employment. Plus, whatever the intention, this clearly hasn’t made them incorruptible, so sticking to it for a purpose it doesn’t succeed at is pointless.

      Once they’re in, their main concern is their legacy

      Apparently the legacy some of them are gunning for is ‘we owned the libs and put women back in their place’ tho
