Summary

The idea that federal judges have "lifetime appointments" is deeply embedded in our national consciousness, but is it actually true? In this eye-opening episode of Foundations of Freedom Thursday, we dive into what the Constitution actually says and what the founders genuinely intended for the judicial branch.
