Just a casual reminder that in 1869 it was decided to have 9 Supreme Court justices because there were 9 Circuit Courts.

Now there are 13 Circuit Courts. So what exactly are we waiting for?

@Strandjunker @nuintari But what would the additional 4 judges fix, exactly? The court could still be stacked, just like it is now. More justices won't fix this problem.

@XenoPhage @Strandjunker @nuintari

You just do that.

Then you implement more mitigating policies.
. Term limits max. 18 years.

. Implement, monitor and punish ethics violations.
. Each president during his 4 year period can appoint 2 SC judges.
and more.

Ethics Scandals Show the Need for Supreme Court Term Limits

Having so much power in the hands of so few for so long is undemocratic.
