The Judicial Branch (Supreme Court) PASSED

[Associate Justice PiT]

     The Judicial Branch has a certain...stability to it that the other parts of the government do not. Without further comment at the moment, I can foretell that will form the crux of discussion on this section.

     A revolving court sounds like an interesting idea. It could work if we set up certain nonpartisan criteria for Court eligibility, ensuring that no side gets shut out of the Judiciary in the long-term.

     Rotating Bench

Why not have each region choose an associate justice who also doubles up as their head judge, and the president and the senate and president choose the chief justice and 1 associate justice.  Not only would you give more influence to regional legislatures and governors, you'd have a 5 seat supreme court leading to more interesting decisions, more possibility of dissents, and you'd have one less judge overall, so still a reduction in offices.

I like this idea. Any thoughts/alternate opinions on this?

     It's similar to the proposal elsewhere of having Legislatures double up on being a lower House. In terms of keeping regions important and ensuring they have access to seasoned talent, I like the idea of allowing judicial minds to serve on the Court and serve their region.

     Some folks are hard to please. When we don't change anything, they complain. When we change lots of things, they complain. It's obvious that some here are just wedded to getting their particular brand of change.
