Not sure I agree about term limits for all judges; life tenure gives judges great freedom. Where I live, judges must retire at 70; I voted against the amendment that established that, because I knew two judges over that age who were terrific. And Oliver Wendell Holmes did some of his best work over the age of 80. But it may well be that we do need term limits for the Supremes.

“A plurality of eligible voters hasn’t come out in any election since at least the turn of the century”

A sad truth. But why is it so? Complacency? Ignorance? Fatalism? Laziness? Desire to blame others for one’s own fate? If we don’t figure it out fast, and mobilize the masses, everything our nation has achieved over the last 250 years will be for naught.
