Yeah, i would actually rather cases be assigned randomly to people on the circuit court instead of having people on a Supreme Court, even if they're term limited. Then you just rotate who the assignments go to, and force the circuit courts to be elected, just like everybody else. But, there's also more of them, so less chance of there being attempts at partisan stacking.
