Recent polling released by NBC News shows that only 22% of Americans have confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court. In the wake of that growing unpopularity, a new proposal in Congress would amend the Constitution to impose 18-year term limits on Supreme Court justices. Democratic Rep. Johnny Olszewski of Maryland joins "The Takeout" to discuss.

    I suspect this would only apply to justices going forward; even if this passed, we’re stuck with the current ppl.

      Not the exact amendment that the article is about. It’s explicit that anyone over the limit is gone when it’s ratified.

        Given the way the Democrats behave even if they were in power the Republicans would just have to complain that’s it’s 4 years too close to an election and the end result would be the same.
