AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.11
What might be one consequence if lifetime tenure for Supreme Court Justices was replaced with fixed terms?
The Supreme Court would lose its non-partisan character and become biased.
Justices may develop more radical views knowing they have a fixed term.
Justices might become less qualified due to decreased job security.
This change may increase political pressure on justices' decisions as they near end of their terms.
