    Not so fun fact:

    Reagan appointed the first judge directly to the federal circuit court…

    And she’s still fucking sitting there at 97 years old

    At 97, Newman is the oldest judge on the federal bench. She was appointed in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan and was the first judge appointed directly to the Federal Circuit.

    Maybe we should cap it at like 100?

    I mean. Ideally way younger, but it’s insane there’s no cap at all for a lifetime appointment.
