        they're just older. the last thing we need is a trump presidency with older judges. biden should appoint children to the court - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:53 2
        
        That's true. Weird time compression I guess has kept them in early 60s in my mind for the past decade. - Max Jun 27, 09:09 1
        
        Also, I've been hearing Breyer on the radio more recently, frustratingly forming some opinions but dodging 'how should they vote' questions - Max Jun 27, 09:16
        
        I agree with this, given below. I don't know why they stay on the damn bench so long. if you care about deomcracy, retire. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:02 1
