15, 5D, 5R, 5non partisan, the idea is to to have the 5D & 5R selected closer to the current process, with seat balance set, the final 5 would be picked as non partisan picked by those 10 and then those NP ones would still be confirmed by the Senate. 15 is the # of district courts and theoretically they could do some of the reviews in rotating grouops of 5.
