From the supplier: The constitutional provision that provides for life tenure for US Supreme Court and for inferior federal judges may have seemed appropriate at the time of the formation of the Constitution, but the nature and independence of the judiciary has changed to make life tenure unwarranted. The Founders had not experienced an independent judiciary, and review of their expectations reveals how much the judiciary has changed. Life tenure in the federal judiciary would be acceptable, but tenure on the High Court should be limited to 10 to 15 years because a justice's best work usually occurs during that period.
