Stephen Spaulding @stevespaulding.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Justices are holding public power on average far longer than our Constitution’s framers imagined. The average tenure over history is 16 years. Since 1970, it's been 26 years. Now some justices could sit on the high court for upwards of 35 years. 3/ 164
