You and I spoke at the beginning about things we never thought we would support. I'm now supporting term limits for Supreme Court justices because I think we need some turnover on the court. And The founders never thought that justices would live to be 75 and 80 and still be on a court. Lifespan in those years was way shorter and service on the court was started at older ages. So I think for all kinds of reasons, some kind of term limits proposal makes sense. (34:06–34:14)
