Are you out of your mind???

There are 7 Supreme Court judges - none are elected by the people - and they serve for life, or until they decide to retire. We have no say in the matter at all.

There are 435 congressmen, who serve 2 years unless reelected.

I'm not a math major, but 1 out of 7 for a lifetime term has quite a bit more power than 1 out of 435 for a 2 year term.

Why does everything have to be about Democrat or Republican to you? If Ruth Bader Ginsberg cheated on her taxes and her husband ran MoveOn.org, I would be just as incensed.

We cannot allow our court system to be influenced by either political party. They are supposed to follow the law, not party affiliations. Maybe you've never heard of conflict of interest?
