I suspect that they were proposing 72 as the age limit, rather than 65. And I could see it. Airline pilots are age limited at 65 (IIUC), but judges do not make split-second unappealable decisions that can kill hundreds. They could go a bit longer than 65.

OTOH, I think after seeing Biden, Trump, and McConnell, it's pretty clear that it should be some distance below 80.
