    I used to think we needed to add 4 more seats to SCOTUS, but I no longer believe that. Now I believe we should add 20 seats, with rolling term limits. SCOTUS shouldn’t be so small that one bad faith president can manipulate the system and negatively affect policy for the next century.

      I like the idea of a new justice being appointed every year or two. Maybe some extra rules to avoid senate shenanigans. No actual limit, just a constant stream of new judges to hopefully dilute the power of newindividual.

        Yeah this bullshit that you can’t appoint a justice in an election year and then ram one through in the last second just because your republican is infuriating. Fuck Mitch McConnell…
