the SCOTUS. So, there would be, say, 20 SCOTUS judges. At any given time, 11 of them would be chosen at random to rotate out to the district courts, but they'd eventually rotate back to the SCOTUS in Washington.

So, for example, Trump and McConnell leave the SCOTUS with 6 reactionary 'conservative' Justices, and 3 liberal Justices. Biden adds 11 new liberal Justices. That DILUTES the power of the reactionary Justices to 6 in 20. Then you start rotating them at random. The odds are that, at any given time, you'll have a SCOTUS in Washington that's composed of 6 liberal and 3 reactionary judges.
