Judicial Retirement

I oppose the proposal because it would only solve a fragment of the problem in the Supreme Court. Applying a mandatory retirement age would do little to change the fact that justices are being allowed to serve while being treated for illnesses that negatively affect their ability to do their job. These illnesses do not only affect those over 75. If anything, this proposal would end up hurting the Supreme Court more than it would help. The health of a younger Justice should not hold more value than the wisdom of an older Justice. A medical requirement should be implemented before an age requirement should be considered. http://dailywrit.com/2010/10/supreme-court-justices-age-at-retirement/comment-page-1/#comment-8610
