How are chunks of time in the geologic timeline organized?

i believe it is "they are not used up by reactions" as the answer to your question, text me back if this is correct because i just learned this.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

well the answer is 2!
