That would be utterly ridiculous. Even the suggestion is laughable. The best thing about the Supreme Court is that they don't have term limits, so thus aren't worried about election/reelection like many politicians are, and thus they aren't ruled by that fear/desire to be reelected that our Congress and first-term Presidents are. I do agree that they've overstepped bounds and the Constitution is being stretched to fit the needs of those it was never intended for personal gain/profit, but to suggest we add a term limit to the Supreme Court? Are you insane? That would destroy the very fiber of our current legal system, threadbare as it is. If you think the Supreme Court is controlled by "big money" now, just wait until term limits are added.

The don't run for election now and they should never run for re-election.

After 17 years, they should be done.
