The point is that many more will decline it leaving only the ideologues or the inexperienced at the district and appellate levels where the bulk of the work of the judiciary is done, this is outside of anything to do with SCOTUS. A federal judge should have tenure and be able to learn from more tenured judges. All this proposal would do is add more problems and solve none.

These are not remotely comparable lol. People taking admin jobs can find other work in DC outside of the admin or understand this is a temporary gig, and don’t go in with the understanding that they will need to completely uproot their entire life every 5 years as a definition of their extremely difficult to achieve career. Especially if they can stay in private practice or on state circuits or some other job where they don’t need to take their kids out of schools, uproot their personal and social life, and have no connection to the area in which they live every five years for a lateral move professionally. this is a recipe for only the ideologically committed or ending up with massive turnover at best to the private sector. Like even a federal magistrate judge has an 8 year term (but that’s not as well a protected job) like this isn’t a pity party for the poor federal judges, but it is a recipe for gutting the profession of, well, professionals

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. A regular stable of rotating judges term limited in a similar manner to what you described for scotus works just as well at the appellate and district level and again requires no amendment as you can force them into a senior status that already exists. When framed in the way you describe I think you’re right with regard to SCOTUS and having a random (or even selected in some other way, I don’t like random) judge from a circuit be elevated to SCOTUS

Rotating district and appellate judges is very, very dumb. The last point about scotus is fine overall, though the constitutional issues arising from elevating a district judge to scotus will still require a senate vote of confirmation make it messy and doesn’t really change much from the status quo but again any changes to the judiciary will require complete buy in from the democrats which is a tall task. And any reform has to contend with the fact that a solid ~third of the judiciary is in the bag for the biggest psychos in this country. Many reforms in a vacuum are good and fine, but there is a rot of un/under qualified judges at every level to serve a strictly partisan purpose. They serve the conservative project instead of an independent branch of government. One only need look at the embarrassing rulings from scotus lately to see that it is an exercise in pure power and ideology, not facts or the law.

Man he sucks

If you’re flat at a time when population and productivity are still increasing then yeah you are dying.

Cheap? Nah man this is a grift

No conversions? ok, new residential construction

Southern Indiana was southern Indiana-ing. Some assholes set off fireworks during totality.

Saw the 2017 totality in South Carolina, now reporting live from cloud free Southern Indiana today. Perfect weather for it today.

I’ll believe it when he screams about it on his social media and not a scripted video. And even then I don’t believe it. He also said he wouldn’t support social security and Medicare cuts but still put people in power and supported budgets that would do exactly that. mf is the definition of “will say anything to get in power”

Imagine paying thousands of dollars to get the highlights from Jordan Peterson books yelled at you

I love how quiet the metro there is

Why would he have two of the same flag???

They just hooked up the feed to an API—an actual person in India

As someone who has worked at KFC: lol, lmao the friers and ovens and warming cabinets and all have two temp settings, on or off, and the only difference is in how long you cook each thing for, all preprogrammed buttons which are labeled. lmao

The fraud guy not keeping good books???

From Reddit:

Support for abortion <> support for democrats but it is a moderately good sign. Hopefully they can get rid of skeletor as well

Sbl made more money than Trump last year guaranteed

And let’s shout this as loud as possible: THE COMPANY GENERATED ONLY $4.1 MILLION DOLLARS IN ALL OF 2023 MILLION MILLION LMAO

Trump Media plunges more than 25% after company reports net loss of $58 million in 2023 WWW.CNBC.COM Trump Media, whose majority shareholder is former President Donald Trump, "expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future," the filing says. Oh no now it’s time for the “dump” phase of the pump and dump

When Go outside at night in the summer and I’ll notice that the number of fireflies is not nearly what I remember when I was a kid. Even in remote WVa it seems like there’s simply not that many at all when I distinctly remember catching so many growing up (and releasing them after)

Apparently there was a double murder with another person seriously wounded in my hometown of 1900 people. Yikes.
