This is the best reform idea I’ve heard. Has it been mentioned elsewhere?

There is a reference in the Constitution in the impeachment clause to the “Chief Justice” - which maybe implies justices with some sort of tenure, but I suppose that could be filled randomly as well, much like a jury foreman.

Not that I can find. (It’s already been flagged off the thread, granted.)
