No, and the Supreme Court should not be politicized

why would term limits politicize the supreme court? also, the supreme court being politicized is going to happen regardless, but term limits ensures that the court changes hands more frequently to support changing public opinions

The Supreme Court is already politicized. It is as much a political institution as it is a legal-judicial one.

 @9FVL63V from Idaho  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Everything is tainted with politics at some point so everything should be brought as close as it can to the will of the people which that institution serves.

The Supreme Court is already highly politicized, the justification behind overturning roe is paper thin and the appointment of a justice is always watched with held breath because it’s now always a swing in the political power within the court. The democrats need to get into the mud and start playing the political game to retake ground.

The Court is supposed to judge the bill according to the law according to author's intent.

It should not be judged according to popular opinion.

 @9G2NP4S from Connecticut  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The idea that the Supreme Court is not political is childish. It's current makeup is a theocratic reactionary brake on the US. US average lifespan would probably be 5 years higher with a more progressive court.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
