    I used to believe that we needed to add 4 more SCOTUS seats, but I no longer believe that. Now I think we should add 20 more SCOTUS seats.

    The distribution of the court shouldn’t be so tight that one bad faith president can negatively influence policy for the next half century. We need a court that’s too big to game with a few seats, along with term limits, and rolling election dates. That way, every president gets to appoint a few, but not enough to distort the results.

      A rotating court, selected at random for each case, pulled from the ranks of federal appeals jugdes and public defense attorneys.
