Recently, the idea of limiting a SCOTUS term to 18 years was bright up. So I looked at the term length for the most recent 50 Justices to see how common it would be to hit that limit.
Green for terms less than 18 years, Red for 18 years or more.
Small criticism, wouldn‘t it be more helpful to mark terms of exactly 18 years green as well since that would still be allowed under the proposed new ruling?
This may not even be relevant if none of the terms were exactly 18 years long anyway
