I recently read this article and saw an idea I really like: term limits for Supreme Court justices. Here is the quick summary from the article:

“Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute believes that Supreme Court justices should serve one 18-year term, and those terms should be staggered so that one expires every other year. That way, every president would be able to nominate two justices during a four-year term. What difference would this make? Few things have more poisoned our politics than battles over Supreme Court nominees, precisely because they are lifetime appointments. With term limits, the stakes would be lower when a seat is vacated, and maybe, just maybe, our political culture could start to heal.”

A great suggestion! It’s very inspiring for me to read about exciting ideas like this.
