That’s why they thought lifetime appointments for SCOTUS were a good idea, life expectancy was 35 years, not 78.

Year that someone first used the phrase “founding fathers”: 1916 It was then Sen. Warren Harding (R-Ohio) giving the keynote address at the Republican National Convention.

Everyone commenting about average life expectancy. ALL of these mentioned lived well beyond 35.

The average of the people running the country now has to be like 70-75.

I like how 'age expectancy" became an excuse for the old farts replying to deflect present day accountability. It's like they were primed for argument and all you did was post ages and names 😅
