What is the "Office" -- is it 2d Circuit judge, appellate judge, or just "judge"? If Office just means a federal judgeship, Congress could theoretically send all the lib appellate court judges down to the WD Arkansas. As long as they keep them at the same rate of pay there's no violation.
This kind of chicanery seems a lot more plausible than libs' court packing fever dreams. |

The term “office” is likely going to be defined by judged and a conservative scotus (assuming no court packing) would likely not let the Dems fuck around with that |

If instead the judges are going into a lottery that allows them to be assigned wherever, someone should make that clear during the confirmation process.
