chosen.content: Lifetime appointments for Supreme Court Justices were established to ensure consistent and reliable jurisprudence and to create stability within the judiciary. This also allows the Justices to rule without concern of political pressures or personal biases as a result of upcoming elections. This allows for more deliberation and judicious consideration of cases brought before the Court. Additionally, since only the Senate has the Constitutional power to remove a Justice, having a Lifetime appointment provides a significant degree of security and job tenure as well. This is meant to ensure that Judges focus more on upholding the Constitution instead of their own political agendas or personal career aspirations. The Lifetime appointment of Supreme Court Justices is an important element for a stable and effective judiciary system, in my opinion.

rejected.content: The Supreme Court is the final court of appeals in the US judicial system, and so it is important that judges in this court be able to make decisions independently and with respect to the law without the fear of being replaced if they do not rule the way that politicians want them to. Lifetime appointments ensure that judges are not biased or swayed by political pressure. It also allows for a continual influx of judges with new perspectives, ensuring consistently diverse rulings over time.
