The commission also discussed potential term limits for the justices.
Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice and a member of the commission, said he was surprised both witnesses from the right and left have been open to implementing some sort of term limits.
John Malcolm, vice president at the Institute for Constitutional Government with the Heritage Foundation, testified that any sort of limit on tenure may need to be implemented with a constitution amendment while Christopher Kang, who co-founded Demand Justice, said he thought it could be accomplished through statute.
