    I’m curious to see how they plan to transition to that system. Force one of the current Justices out every two years? If so, which one? Or do they plan on just starting fresh? Then who gets ousted in two years? To be clear, I fully support this plan, I’m just curious how the transition will go if/when this passes.

      Presumably the currently longest serving justice.

        And then we get chief justice Thomas for 2 years, followed by 2 years of chief justice Alito

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they allow the sitting justices to continue their life appointment
