Absent a constitutional amendment (which wouldn't be necessary if there were anything close to support for it) it would be unconstitutional.

Are there legal theories that disagree? Sure - but the final call on that point would be made by these same justices. So it isn't going to happen.

Term limits was the only option I've heard mentioned, but I have no idea what it would take to implement it. Rhiannon12866 Oct 16 #4
