I mean I do find it funny in a way: they decided they didn’t want to be ruled over by a king for life, but then decided for the supreme court: ah fuck it, don’t want to bother selecting new guys every decade. Make it for life, just like the king we just seceded from.
Well, but at least terms of set lengths. That was already progress.
I would wish certain positions in my country, Germany, also had term limits. I haven’t yet have a chancellor in my whole life where I thought: oh yes, please more of that. But others disagree and so we got in our history since 1945 3 chancellors with 4 terms. =( we call other countries backwards for having presidents hold on to positions…

Well they also didn’t have term limits on the president at the time either lol.
