Why This Matters

This bill changes how Supreme Court justices are appointed and how long they serve, aiming to create a more regular turnover of justices. It ensures that justices serve fixed terms instead of for life, which could impact the court's decisions over time.

If you care about how Supreme Court justices are appointed, this bill could change their lifetime positions to fixed terms.
