Term limits? Presidents are limited to four year terms while supreme court judges are appointed for life. If they were evenly distributed, no president could appoint enough justices to control the court, and odds favor a partisan balance. That worked until recent years.
This is the danger of term limits for judges. Sure, it would help our current mess, and there’s something to be said for faster turnover, but statistically it will make the problem worse, the courts more partisan

You’re assuming a perfect distribution: a different justice every two years. That does make sense but I hadn’t thought of it that way
I was assuming like now. A random distribution but over a shorter period
