    It would take a special kind of person(read: ideologue) to be required to move across the country every five years, and even with a prestigious job of federal judge you’re going to see people not want to uproot their life every single five years.

     

    1.3 million people in the military move all the time, can't find ~900 judges who'll have a job for life willing to move every 5 years?

    Rotating district and appellate judges is very, very dumb.

     

    Why? Fixes the issue of judges with one bend being packed into one District or Circuit. You can't eliminate unqualified judges from the bench, not without a Constitutional Amendment, even then how would you define that? I'm just trying to figure out what's possible with just Congress. I don't think you'd need Senate Confirmation to elevate Appeals Court Judges to SCOTUS since you aren't elevating them, just changing the composition of the Court that it with consist of a Chief Justice and an Appeals Court Judge for each Circuit selected randomly, that's well within Congress's authority to define the courts. Same authority that gives each SCOTUS justice oversight over a specific Circuit.

    I think a more effective reform would be to reform the entire Federal Court system. 

    • District Judges are randomly assigned to districts and reassigned to a district randomly every 5 years (1/5th of each district court moving each year). 
    • Appeals Court Judges are also reassigned to a different Circuit Court every 5 years same as District Judges. 
    • The Supreme Court will only have a permanent Chief Justice. 13 Associate Justices will be randomly selected from among Appeals Judges from each Circuit serving a 13 year term (one new and retiring Associate Justice every year). Chief Justice gets a double vote in the event of a tie. 

    I don't think you need a Constitutional Amendment for any of this.

    Constellation Frigate Delivery Delayed 3 Years, Says Navy - USNI News

    NEWS.USNI.ORG
    THE PENTAGON – The lead ship in a new class of guided-missile frigates for the U.S. Navy may be up to three years late, USNI News has learned. Constellation (FFG-62), under construction at Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin, may not deliver to the fleet until 2029, three years later than the original 2026 delivery goal, according to a service shipbuilding review. The program’s delay came to light as part of the 45-day shipbuilding...

    But whether Havana Syndrome is real, whether the Russians are behind it, whether there really is a headache gun... all that is effective is meaningless. The idea that the Russians might have this working capability and is attacking our people is powerful enough on its own. This IDEA has affected dozens of people and taken them out of this important work. And that's bad enough. 

     

    Of course brings the implication, placebo or not, what if a Head of State believes they've been hit with this?

    How much of a worthless mush brained turd goblin do you have to be to blame everything that happens on the president? Honestly, the worst thing about Trumps era of politics is that it has illuminated just how staggeringly stupid so many of my fellow Americans are and it’s really fucking depressing to share a planet with these worthless fuck faced fuckers. Like, what in the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

     

     

    People are really THAT dumb? They’re really this fucking dumb? How is that even possible? How DOES THE WORLD EVEN FUNCTION WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE THAT STUPID?

     

     

    Trump and Chud podcasters made it okay to just go with stupid ideas instead of logic.

    I wonder if buying just becomes more expensive. Or if you only go to realtors who are selling the house you're wanting to buy, a conflict of interest for sure! 

     

    My parents did dual agent selling their house, absolute nightmare when an inspection issue came up and had to be negotiated. They didn't feel like they had a realtor advocating and advising them at that point.
