    I don’t get the appointing of a new judge every two years for 18 years. Does that mean that the courts are gonna like fill up with a bunch of justices or is it just every two years you can replace an empty seat?

      Still 9 justices. The justices would have an 18-year term limit, so one seat opens and is then filled every two years.
