The fact that times changed, and that he perhaps didn't move with them is a different issue. I do question the validity of lifetime appointments, I think its very wrong. People are best for specific times in society, they have a shelf life, and its not even related to their age. Right person, right time

that's right. and that's part of the american system. and that's why there are 9 of them, not just one judge that gets to dictate, 9 different people, all of different ages and histories...

the American system is working. America is by far the most successful country in the history of the world. People can complain all they like, but there is no denying our system works.

The media wants to make drama, but the system works. Can ir improve? absolutely, but it's a slow process, that was also the brilliance of our forefathers, they built so many checks and balances into the system that chance comes slowly. that is the only way to make lasting change is slowly.


The system put in place by the forefathers, the balance of powers, supreme court, presidential leader, and congress has been working for 200 years now, and it's been undeniably successful.

Change must be slow and measured to give people the time to adapt and adjust.
