No system is perfect, but either way you go with this one the issue will be the same (shorter terms just add layers of politics and strategy without eliminating any perceived problem - short term judge shopping and/or tying a case in tape until a friendly bench arrives). Whenever you think about changing something like that you have to sit back and say "If I were a high profile lawyer on a hot issue how would I game this proposed system?" and then see if the results are any better than whats currently in place.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
