Berry and Wilson are trying to argue that that the terms are no longer staggered. However, once they become staggared (as they were made so prior to 1994 and thereafter validated with those changes) they are forever staggared. Anyone appointed in mid term serves only so long as the original appointee. They have no leg to stand on.

The original laws for this committee stated specifically that an appointee was appointed only for the remaining term. When it was redrafted by congress they left this out. Also, I searched other committee statues under the same code section and they are explicit about a member only serving the remaining time of a term.
In the intstant case their is no language (like there is in other enabling statues) that provides for limiting a member to the remaining term.
