The writer has some underlying assumptions:
"holding justices to a single term would make the timing of the fights more predictable"
Why does there need to be a "fight" over nomination and appointment of supreme court justices?
Personally I think that the country is best served with a cadre of ruling bodies that vary in their "left to rightedness" as such:
Furthest left: House of Representatives, followed by the Senate
More center: President
Furthest righ: Supreme Court
In this manner the legislative bodies can pull us towards liberal change; with the President and the Supreme Court (to a greater but less frequent degree) acting as modulating factors to keep things between the rails.
Too much change, too quickly, can destabilize a society. It is best to have both liberal and conservative facets of government.
