Possibly too political on SCOTUS for this FORUM
To moderator: This post applies to the Second Amendment, and others, as to the Supreme Court making law rather than interpreting. As we are looking at a new POTUS for up to eight more years, Supreme Court vacancies are inevitable. Most 2nd Amendment decisions over the past many years have been VERY close. Since the "appointee" will hold the term for life. The impact of an anti-amendment "appointee" will negatively affect the next several generations of Americans. How about we change SCOTUS appointment from lifetime to something less. I propose an annual lottery. Each year, each "Justice" enters their name in an elimination drawing. One name is selected and that "Justice" is retired. Potentially; an appointee could serve a lifetime. Conversely; a newly appointed "Justice" could be retired in a year. This method would minimize, though not eliminate, politics. Is it even worth further discussion? Thanks, PFB.

So while you try to work up support for your constitutional amendment, we'll put this thread to rest.
