this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

How Virginia Democrats can overturn the redistricting ruling: Retire the Supreme Court
The state Constitution gives lawmakers complete latitude to set the judicial retirement age. They should use it.

1. I think it's time for us to accept the bitter truth. We are going to pay, and continue paying for a long time to come, for the president’s war of choice against Iran. Such are the consequences of politics. Maybe Americans will take their democracy seriously next time.

Marc Elias: I am here to sound a larger and louder alarm than I ever have before. [Trump's] is setting up the mechanism to seize ballots in 2026. He has found a prosecutor in Missouri. That prosecutor apparently has nationwide jurisdiction, so he has found a willing prosecutor to do these things.
