    This. Pull judges directly from the Federal Circuit; run them for 8-10 years; then send them back to the Federal Circuit as a ‘Distinguished’ judge.

    Supreme Court Judges should resist political pressure; but they should not be appointed for life.

    Info: A ‘Distinguished Judge’ is a former SCOTUS justice who served their complete term and cannot be re-nominated to the Supreme Court ever again. It is a lifetime title granted when they make it to the SCOTUS and complete one term.

      NGL that sounds pretty cool, judges earning a title for Serving their nation as a member of SCOTUS.

      And of course coming with a nice retirement package and a lifetime ban from working for companies who cases they over saw as a justice.
