I fully dispute "predictability" is an asset or exists at all.

If the outcome is "predictable", why bother having a #SCotUS at all? And a Justice suddenly passing away or resigning at any time is quite unpredictable.

Older Justices resigning just before a preferred Potus leaves office just to give them a seat to fill for the next 40 years is "manipulation". And what the #GOP did to #MarrickGarland vs #AmyComeyBryant was nothing short of "gaming" the Court.

Randomization would HELP.
