BRASILIA, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Thursday he believes it is necessary to discuss term limits for Supreme Court justices.

• The remarks come amid a clash between top court justices that has triggered the court’s biggest crisis in decades.

• Lula, who is seeking reelection in October, told SBT TV the crisis is an institutional one within the Supreme Court, and has nothing to do with the government.
