Has the judiciary become the branch of government whose power has become overbearing on the other two branches—unequal power. State and local judiciaries. The Founding Fathers established three equal branches of government. Has the judicial branch become too powerful? Does it need more oversight?
Many are taking a look at term limits for the federal judiciary. Offering ideas such as a twenty or twenty five year term for all federal judges. Argument is that most federal judges at all levels, including the US Supreme Court, don’t get appointed until they are over 50 years of age, so a twenty year term puts them in their seventies at the end of a life time appointment with term limits they would be in their seventies. So these advocates say “enough ready”.
All of this talk of change in the judicial branch of government at the federal level may take constitutional and statutory changes.
