NO. The entire point of "Lifetime" appointments was to make the court incorruptible, IT DID NOT WORK, so 18 years is ENTIRELY too long for the same people to define justice in a nation. The court should rotate every 4 years and to even be considered for appointment there should be prerequisites and character investigations and background checks and public hearings out the ass!

As a Canadian I think ideally you’d hold them accountable at some point if they become corrupt. Also should not have republican/democrat majorities. If decisions cannot be made after x # of tries, re-appoint them.
