SB 121-10: Save the Senate Amendment - Failed

[YE]

Nay.

What is the point of Amendment B? What problem does it solve?

4. Effective August 1, 2024, all justices of the Supreme Court shall immediately resign and must either be re-confirmed by the relevant authority, or be replaced by a new justice.

Honestly let’s just hurry this up and get the Senate Reduction done with and not have its fate tied to potentially controversial provisions.

Well there is the fact that the Supreme Court has not resolved a single case this year and did basically nothing in 2023. Some of the justices there clearly do not care.

Also, while I've heard feedback like yours, I've also heard feedback that a senate reduction on its own is more controversial.

It’s not single handily killing the game unlike the excessive number of elected officeholders.

A separate conversation can be had about judges if necessary though what you are describing doesn’t seem historically unusual.
