Democrats Push Supreme Court Term Limits but Ignore Congress.

It would apply to Supreme Court justices. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Alex Padilla (Calif.) are also sponsoring the Supreme Court term-limit bill. But neither Whitehouse, Blumenthal, Booker nor Padilla has ever sponsored a bill to impose term limits on members of Congress. Would these senators have proposed term limits on Supreme Court justices in 1973 — when the court issued Roe v. Wade and declared a constitutional right to abortion? Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution deliberately places no time limit on how long a federal judge or Supreme Court justice may serve.
