In general terms, the impact of federal judges occupying their offices for life-terms is two-fold. First, such long-term work on the part of judges ensures consistency (along with accountability) in national judicial policy and decision-making. Second, it helps to ensure that any significant changes in the form or powers of government more largely will occur only slowly, over a long period of time, and through seasoned deliberation, rather than (as, for example, the American Founders feared and worked to avoid) suddenly and irrationally.
