    You literally don't have a functioning House. There won't even be a Speaker to put your silly little bill in permanent time out.

    You could have done this two years ago, no problem. But now all you're proving is how much to suck at doing politics.

    I know a fair few Republicans have also said they wanted this. So I fully expect them to oppose this on the basis of "if a dem proposed it, it must be SATANISM".

    I'd love to know under what conditions this proposal is constitutional.

    The supreme court is a right wing sclerotic fistula providing passage to creeping fascism, but reinterpreting Article 3 Section 1 is a tall order. By only saying that justices shall "hold their offices during good behavior" the Constitution is traditionally read to mean that only impeachment, retirement, or death will end a term.
