My question is, why is it relevant whether or not the court’s decision reflects the desire of a statistical majority?
I couldn't ask this better. It's like she thinks that the role of the court is to do what people want and not what the constitution says (at least, as they interpret it).

Critically, implementing term limits would not impact the justices’ decisional independence. Once on the bench, the justices would be free to rule however they see fit, just as they can today.
This is false.
Say you know you are going to get fired in 1 year from now. Wouldn't you start to plan for your next job? Perhaps lean a certain way on a law that comes before you that your new potential employer wants to go one way?
This is the problem (of many) that you don't seem to understand. People have self interest. Having no term limits means they can't be influenced by companies with job offers.

If I, as a white nerdy guy, got sent to prision, what would be the best way to avoid any trouble from any of the other prisioners? Did Office Space get it right when they said to become someone elses bitch or knock out the biggest guy there?
