(1) Single 12-year term limit for all SCOTUS justices
(2) Two-thirds majority confirmation in the Senate, straight up-or-down vote. No more of these filibusters or changing the rules.
(3) Constitutional amendment that there should only be seven justices. We don't need more than 7 SCOTUS justices!

And (4), National Reconfirmation Vote of the People every four years (to coincide with the presidential elections). Twelve years is entirely too long to suffer with these Commie Pricks that get on the court. I am less worried about Kennedy, Breyer and the Female Capo , than I am about ROBERTS, the FAT YENTA, and the WISE LATRINA. Death will come to the first three soon, but the other three can do lots of irreparable damage due to their age.

You need a constitutional amendment for that.

(2) Two-thirds majority confirmation in the Senate, straight up-or-down vote. No more of these filibusters or changing the rules.

A two/thirds majority is 67 votes. That's more than the 60 needed for cloture to end a filibuster.

(3) Constitutional amendment that there should only be seven justices. We don't need more than 7 SCOTUS justices!

The size of the court is set by law, not the Constitution. You could set the size to seven or eleven or whatever size you want. Of course the court could become seven members by default when the next opening occurs.
