A fixed term for Supreme Court justices?

There are persuasive arguments both for and against the status quo (i.e., lifetime tenure), but the intense politicization of the nomination process and the fact that justices may sit on the Supreme Court for decades (Roberts could be there for 30 years or more) suggest to me that a fixed term might not be such a bad idea.

I have more on this interesting question at The Reaction.
