Aside from electing the Chief Justice, we also need to establish an order of seniority for the other 8. If the CJ declines to write the opinion (or if the CJ doesn't support the opinion) the next in line to write it is the most senior of the other Justices, and so on.

The order is the order that people signed up in so Scalia, O'Connor, Posner, Moore, Stevens, Douglas, Blackmun, Black and Thomas.

Makes sense! Wink

Will there be a runoff if no candidate gets 5 votes?

I would like the Plaintiff to go into greater detail concerning the time limit after which the State might legitimately prohibit the recourse to abortion. Although you raise a compelling argument regarding the overbreadth of the Texas law, it would be extremely difficult for this Court to strike down a law as overbroad without having first defined the precise boundaries that it should not have overstepped. Can the Court truly rely on the evolving standards on Science to settle constitutional matters?

(I'll let the Chief Justice decide which cases you are allowed to cite, but personally I would say you shouldn't be able to cite decisions that postdate the case currently being discussed)
