This has probably been asked before but do the Justices keep the same office throughout their tenure and do new Justices always move into the vacant office?

Are any of you aware of whether the court has given consideration to how they will docket cases in the year 2070? They cannot use 70-xxxx because that will repeat dockets from 1970. My datasets are already a mess with this pre-1970 docketing system where no year reference is used, and I have anxiety thinking about re-normalizing everything in a mere 52 years!

While it is true that time is consumed by the questioning during oral arguments, is it also not true that many of these questions are really being posed from one ideological side of the bench to the other, enabling them to argue with one another (with the lawyer being a proxy)? If so, isn't that an important function of the oral arguments themselves?
