BTW, when the term for SCOTUS was set at "life," the average
life was 36 years.

Huh? Do you think they were saying the president would be dead one
year into office? (minimum age 35)
The rich white men who they thought would run the government lived as
long as we do.


I gave you average life expectancy at birth. Figure in
infant mortality.
The average years of life for Washington's appointments to
SCOTUS was 66.9 years. Average term served was 7.9 years.
You can compare that to recent times.
