1. The quote I chose for this assignment was from Revisiting the Constitution: We Need Term Limits for Federal Judges by Jamal Greene. The quote states, "There are better paths to judicial independence. Germany and France use fixed terms of office for their high courts. Countries like Australia, Canada, and Israel have mandatory retirement ages. A recent proposal by Professors Steven Calabresi and James Lindgren to replace the current system of Supreme Court appointments with nonrenewable 18-year terms, with one new justice every odd-numbered year, is worth serious consideration. Eighteen years would mean that a justice’s tenure would be long enough to ensure independence from political patronage. As important, it would be short enough to ensure that we remain a country of laws and not of men".
2. I believe the meaning of this quote is we should adopt new ideas or plans into our Constitution to help better the future generations and not please our founding fathers.
3. I like this quote because it shows there is a possibility for a better future. I think it is important that we consider and try to execute these ideas because now then ever, we have a lot of people in the system who want to abuse their power and benefit their own people. Not giving "other" people a chance to pursue the "American Dream". But I highly doubt something like this can come into place because America is filled with too many cultures. Each person has different views that will each favor or disrupt the "American living". Unlike, other countries like Australia, Danmark or Netherlands, all the people are the same. There are no to very little of different beings in those countries so to decide on better decisions is not really an issue over there.
