U.S. Circuit Judge Pauline Newman lost her legal challenge to a suspension over concerns of mental deterioration. A judge rejected her constitutional challenge to the law underlying her suspension.
I don’t think your example portrays originalism. They could have said “Until they reach the age of average life expectancy” then but instead went with life time appointments when in good behavior. A lifetime being serving until that judge dies, unless they’ve given up their seat.
To change lifetime appointments we’d need a constitutional amendment.
Your using logic and facts to drive your conclusions, though. You’re supposed to do it the other way around: start with your conclusion, and cherry-pick facts to reach it. Once you learn that, you, too can be a Conservate SC Justice!
Your example is actually much closer to Living Constitutionalism which based on this comment I’m going to assume you probably don’t want to be criticizing.
Originalism is tethered to textualism which is antithetical to your analogy reading words out of text.
