Issue Position: Term Limits For all Federal Judges

Issue Position

It is obvious to see that from the U.S. Supreme Court on down, the federal judiciary has made itself an enemy of the majority of the American people. In 32 states, the people voted against same-sex marriage. But in each case, federal judges ignored the wishes of the people and struck down state laws banning same-sex marriages.

In the case of Obamacare, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against 10 states who wanted no part of that Federal nightmare. And in the case of Citizens United, the U.S. Supreme Court in an act of supreme idiocy ruled that money equals free speech.

This ruling has resulted in Super Pacs being set up for the purpose of being able to accept unlimited amounts of money from billionaires who are simply buying presidential candidates willing to do their bidding. They may want a Special Tax Break or they may prefer Another War somewhere in the world.

My proposed solutions are:

1. Whenever the president is defeated for another term, then all Federal judges he has appointed will automatically lose their positions as well. No Federal judge should serve more than 8 consecutive years.

This will ensure that when a decision is to be made by a president for a judge or by a judge for a case, what is "politically correct" will be the farthest thing from their minds in their decisions.

2. To keep the billionaires from buying off political candidates, all Federal elections should be publicly funded by a simple $10.00 tax-deductible contribution to the Federal Elections Commission. All candidates would receive the same amount of money, once they were certified as legitimate candidates.

In this way, all candidates could concentrate on solutions, not on how to acquire more money. And the quality of our candidates would greatly improve and so would the content of the debates.
