according to a court spox, she was home with a stomach virus.

The Founding Fathers made two major errors in their deliberations that lasted for six long months.

One...They rejected term limits...as they considered that no person would want to serve for a lifetime as elected person....HOW WRONG THEY WERE.

Two...Lifetime appointments to Supreme Court...Little did they understand two things...Far two many people would RATHER DIE BEFORE GIVING UP POWER... PLUS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY AT THE TIME WAS LESS THAN 40 YEARS. No senile self serving political hacks.

Since the Constitution doesn't mean what it says, all judges should be forced to retire by age 70. At the very least the president should be able to fire her for non-performance of duty.

I'm sure she and Hellary have both been gone for many moons.

the Constitution doesn't mean what it says

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government.

Enjoy. Your strong suit is certainly not civics. ;)

The constitution is not the law of the land because any law without a penalty and means of enforcement (mostly the constitution has neither) is no law at all. You might as well have a law against bank robbery that has no penalty or means of enforcement and to expect that bank robbers will honor the text of the law.

to expect that bank robbers will honor the text of the law.

The whole problem with that is bank robbers do no honor the law. They are robbers and clearly do not give a whit about the law.

This is why we have courts and judges and prosecutors to make sure these bums are charged, tried and convicted in a court of law. ;)

The Supreme Court is the only federal judicial body established by the Constitution itself, specifically in Article III, which begins:

“The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour…”

Bad ‘Behaviour’

You might note, in the above paragraph, that the Constitution does not specifically state that a Supreme Court justice is appointed for life. Rather, it says the justices “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour,” which has always been understood to mean until he or she died, retired or was impeached for bad “Behaviour.”

Unlike the president, who can be removed only if convicted of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” a justice can theoretically be removed for anything short of “good Behaviour,” which is not defined at all in the document and would seem to leave room for any amount of mischief.

Supreme Court Justices are NOT appointed for life, only for a term of "good behavior".

Lots of bad behavior has gone on over the years, but none have been removed yet.

Supreme Court Justices are NOT appointed for life, only for a term of "good behavior".

Correct...

Chase was impeached but Senate saved him.

Bad behavior is bad barometer in politics.

Age limits as they all seem to want to die being Queens or Kings or whatever.

Marshall use to be carried in on a stretcher, so much for bad behavior.

My 5th great-grandfather? Never knew that. A totally different story from Ruth Worst Ginsbreath, him.
