In reply to Dennis Westler:
While there are undoubtedly people who are in excellent shape physically and mentally at 70, this is not always the rule. Clearing judges out at 70 offers a way of removing those who are clearly incapable by this age without the acrimony involved in doing this piecemeal, or alternatively just leaving them there to clog up the system. It also stimulates the development of a generation of upcoming judges.
