The first home I remember living in has a zestimate of $335k (about 2800 sqft) built 1915 second, same city, about $98k zestimate (about 1500 sqft) built 1920s the next house I remember growing up in belonged to the church my dad was a pastor at and was a different southern Ohio city. Finding accurate information on it is difficult even though it sold 3 years ago it sold with the church which it shared a lot with. But it appears the church and the house were sold for about $55k. House maybe is 2500 sqft, built in the 1800s some time. next home was the shittiest place I’ve ever lived(well the shittiest in which we had access to the whole house, I’ve lived in a two room basement for about a year), a floor so slanted a ball would rapidly roll down it if placed gently on the ground. $38k for 1100sqft according to/on the Zillow map but clicking on the property says there’s not enough information about it to make any estimates. It’s a fucking dump. the last house I would call home in Ohio sold in 2020 for approximately $115k. The last and only place I remember where my dad lived, and where I was legally domiciled for the purposes of in state tuition, I can’t find any information about on Zillow. the last three that I lived in are in the shittiest city you’ve never seen. I went back through there just a week ago after the eclipse on my way home here to Virginia. It’s worse than I remember by a wide margin. An absolutely fentanyl poisoned hole rotting from the inside out.

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.
