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.
Too long. Term should be # of justices on SCOTUS. Currently 9, who should NOT be grandfathered in life time appointment. Instead, cycle them out based on tenure each year from when the bill is passed. Also, any SCOTUS appointee should either be selected by or have the endorsement of a majority of the federal circuits.
