Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend title 28, United States Code, to provide for the regularized appointment of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how Supreme Court justices are selected and serve by creating a regular schedule where one new justice is appointed every two years. It amends federal law governing the Supreme Court to establish what's called a 'regularized appointment' system. All sponsors are Democratic senators. The bill was introduced in Congress but has not advanced beyond that initial stage.
