I'm a writer and have benefited greatly from the help and advice of various government officials from a state coroner to an FBI agent. At first I tried to show my appreciation by giving them a copy of my latest novel, but since they cost over over $25, which was the limit put on the value of a gift they could accept, they had to regretfully refuse.

Every. Single. One. of them.

If a clerk in the Alaska Bureau of Health Analytics & Vital Records is respectful of the gift limit, how can a Supreme Court justice not be?

A Constitutional Amendment.

"The term of any Federal Judge, in any Federal Court, combined, in total, shall be no more than 14 years."
