I'm not sitting here and just saying this is wrong, mind you. Just that the reason is a lifetime appointment is to reduce the politicization, and any move to put a limit on their service will make it more politicized. There is no way around that, really.
Explain how you think a single long term politicizes it? i'm not arguing I'm just not sure I get it.
