Would this even be possible in the US? The judges are elected, so it wouldn't be taking it out of the hands of elected officials at all.
I agree with Frank, at least in terms of long standing incumbents, there should be a number of consecutive term limits on all political offices. The longer someone is in a position the greater the chance for corruption. I've seen this time and time again in provincial politics. Serving in political office should be seen as a public service, not a career choice. That said, it should depend on the position, but the situation here in Canada is different from the US, I'm not sure this would be as relevant in the same way.
