Four years ago, while Chief Justice Rehnquist was dying of cancer, we suggested the Nine Fingers be elected -- with term limits. Now a group of legal thinkers has endorsed the term limits. It sounds agreeable to us (if somewhat convoluted) but as the Fingers are so susceptible to political winds we still say let's get the "objectivity" business out of their deliberations and admit what they do is political, that other judges are popularly elected, and that the people deserve to choose the Nine Fingers.
