They don’t. I made this comment in another thread.
I find this part pretty telling:
…63%, supported enacting an 18-year term limit for Supreme Court justices – who enjoy lifetime appointments – with a bare 51% of Republicans in favor along with 61% of independents and a whopping 83% of Democrats.
But then:
Some 58% of Republicans considered Biden’s long-shot proposal to impose term limits and enact a binding code of conduct on the high court a “major threat to democracy,” compared with 26% of independents and just 10% of Democrats.
So basically most Republicans are like “yeah we need term limits… Wait, Biden wants term limits? Fuck that!”

How I long for the day when a Republican accidentally holds a compassionate, justice-loving, non-hypocritical, decent position on something.
They usually do it right after they retire. They suddenly grow morals when they say things to the press in complete hypocrisy to their actions
If someone wants to do that, why would they be Republican?
I did say “accidentally.” :)
