Here's proposal 6. How vote ye, ST?

Proposal Number 6, an Amendment: Increasing Age until which Certain Judges Can Serve
The proposed amendment to the Constitution, amending sections 2 and 25 of article 6, would increase the maximum age until which certain state judges may serve as follows: (a) a Justice of the Supreme Court would be eligible for five additional two year terms after the present retirement age of 70, instead of three such terms currently authorized; and (b) a Judge of the Court of Appeals who reachs the age of 70 while in office would be permitted to remain in service on the Court for up to 10 years beyond the present retirement age of 70 in order to complete the term to which the Judge was appointed. Shall the proposed amendent be approved?

I want to know what events brought on this initiative, and I want it to take the form of a wacky comedy -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 09:21 1

- I bet it reduces costs in that a retired judge gets a pension, but if he's still on the bench, there's less retired judges. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 21, 09:22
