}There are proposals to limit terms and/or ages for Supreme Court justices. Some argue that all justices be appointed for 15 years, with a cap on age 75 and a grandfather (so to speak) clause for the present members of the court. Others argue for 18 years with no age limit. Some scholars argue the framers never intended for lifetime appointments. Others argue that we are meant to evolve as a democracy so change for the sake of innovation is good. Certainly, there are other ideas as well.

Include specific research to support your argument, citing specific reasoning presented by specific individuals.
