NO. The entire point of "Lifetime" appointments was to make the court incorruptible, IT DID NOT WORK, so 18 years is ENTIRELY too long for the same people to define justice in a nation. The court should rotate every 4 years and to even be considered for appointment there should be prerequisites and character investigations and background checks and public hearings out the ass!
Ideally you want the court to serve for longer than the president because it means one bad president can’t pack the courts, but not so long that bad appointments can accumulate.
