Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald (excerpt) "Isn't she—a pretty girl, any more?" "Oh, she's all right." "Look here," said Dex

ter, sitting down suddenly, "I don't understand. You say she was a 'pretty girl' and now you say she's 'all right.' I don't understand what you mean—Judy Jones wasn't a pretty girl, at all. She was a great beauty. Why, I knew her, I knew her. She was—" Devlin laughed pleasantly. "I'm not trying to start a row," he said. "I think Judy's a nice girl and I like her. I can't understand how a man like Lud Simms could fall madly in love with her, but he did." Then he added: "Most of the women like her." Dexter looked closely at Devlin, thinking wildly that there must be a reason for this, some insensitivity in the man or some private malice. "Lots of women fade just like that," Devlin snapped his fingers. "You must have seen it happen. Perhaps I've forgotten how pretty she was at her wedding. I've seen her so much since then, you see. She has nice eyes." A sort of dulness settled down upon Dexter. For the first time in his life he felt like getting very drunk. What does the emphasis on the word pretty and Dexter’s reaction to the news of Judy’s situation tell readers about his attachment to her? A. Dexter no longer loves Judy but still feels tenderness and pity toward her. B. Dexter feels anger about Judy’s situation and wants to avenge her mistreatment. C. Dexter was deeply in love with Judy and wanted to rescue her from her bad marriage. D. Dexter was more attached to the dream of possessing Judy and did not actually love her.

Do you support the current life appointment system or do you think justices should be forced to retire? Why?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

“I do think that if there were a long term—I don’t know, 18, 20 years, something like that, and it was fixed—I would say that was fine. In fact, it’d make my life a lot simpler, to tell you the truth.” – Justice Stephen Breyer1

“The Framers adopted life tenure at a time when people simply did not live as long as they do now. A judge insulated from the normal currents of life for twenty-five or thirty years was a rarity then, but is becoming commonplace today. Setting a term of, say, fifteen years would ensure that federal judges would not lose all touch with reality through decades of ivory tower existence. It would also provide a more regular and greater degree of turnover among the judges. Both developments would, in my view, be healthy ones.” – Future Chief Justice John Roberts2

The rules governing the U.S. Supreme Court must be updated to reflect the reality of life in modern America. The average tenure of a Supreme Court justice has significantly lengthened since the establishment of the federal judiciary in the 1700s, giving outsize power to nine individuals in a way the framers of the Constitution could never have imagined. This longevity has resulted in a lack of regularity in vacancies, introducing further randomness to the judicial selection process. As a result, the confirmation process for the highest court has become politically divisive, with extremely narrow votes and theatrics from the nominees themselves. This state of affairs is untenable; policymakers must address it by enacting legislation to create term limits for justices.
