Judges are appointed for life, so they can be impartial and don’t need to worry about who won’t hire them after their term ends if they made unfavorable decisions.
Brother I’m not talking about letting the new president fire them at will, I’m talking about term limits and retirement ages.
4 years is absurdly long to you?
This one is maybe on me since my word choice was possibly ambiguous, but I was referring to the campaign cycle - not the length of the term.
Ok, then we agree on all points except term limits for judges. Forced retirement is fine by me, but yanking them out of office before they retire has the drawback I mentioned before.

4 years is crazy long. That means they start campaigning as soon as they enter office.

Term limits in general have lots of drawbacks that people seem to constantly ignore
