One ironic aspect of the discussions about possible election of federal judges and limiting their tenures is that both ideas are usually pushed by my fellow Republicans, mostly from disapproval of what they regard as courts rendering liberal judgments, legislating from the bench, or disregarding what they see as the Framers' "original intent." They're also bothered by their perceptions that individual justices have changed their views on some subjects over time and barring impeachment and removal from office, they can't be removed from office.
