    If each president gets to appoint 2 judges over a 4 year period, how would that make the problem worse without one party winning every election?

      You’re assuming a perfect distribution: a different justice every two years. That does make sense but I hadn’t thought of it that way

      I was assuming like now. A random distribution but over a shorter period

        I was basing that on Biden’s 18 year term limit proposal that allowed an appointment every 2 years.

        President Biden supports a system in which the President would appoint a Justice every two years to spend eighteen years in active service on the Supreme Court.
