I agree with the idea of entry requirements. Part of the reason I'm opposed to Lagoa and Allison Jones being nominated to the Supreme Court is that they have less than two years on a circuit court - to me, that's a rather limited amount.
I see an upper age limit as similar to enacting term limits in Congress (which is something I support 100%). It would allow for more rotations through the Supreme Court; couple that with entry requirements, and realistically the longest someone would be able to serve is around 20 years - long enough to make plenty of impact, but not so long to have the seat held by one person for 30+ years, as we saw with John Paul Stevens and will hit next year with Clarence Thomas.
I have always thought we’ve needed term limits for Congress. But not age-based. Same for the Court. Don’t profile someone’s ability to do the job based on age. RBG was apparently a perfectly competent Supreme Court Justice at age 87. Let’s change the presidential Supreme Court appointment to ten years, or something other than lifetime.
