Answer 1

Federally-appointed judges and Supreme Court justices should continue to serve for a tenure of good behavior.  Their service should not be limited, like elected officials, because they are not there to protect their jobs.

What is the tenure of federally-appointed judges and justices?

Judges and Justices do not serve a fixed term.  They are appointed to serve until their death, retirement, or conviction by the Senate after being impeached by the House of Representatives.

Life tenure based on good behavior frees judges from political pressures. Their tenure is not dependent on the whims and caprices of the politicians, whom they are not constitutionally obliged to favor in their judgments.

Thus, while this view remains personal, the Constitution foresaw the dangers of allowing politicians to influence judges,  obstruct justice, and destroy the doctrine of separation of powers.
