Political scientist Norm Ornstein suggests that term limiting Supreme Court justices would unlock the current gridlock in Washington, David Harsanyl, an editor at The Federalist and writing in Reason, says. But Harsanyl suggests that "no independent observer (if one exists) could convincingly argue that Chief Justice John Roberts is more 'partisan' than Justice Sonia Sotomayor or Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg." Harsanyl still thinks it's a good idea to have lifetime service so justices are more likley to be "impervious to the fleeting populist bugaboos and contemporary preferences."
