Congress should amend the Judiciary Act of 1869 to allow for 15 justices.

I don't know about that. It smacks of FDR's attempt to "pack" the court back in the day. I would prefer a constitutional amendment to limit the terms a SC judge can serve. How about 15 years instead of 15 justices? Or maybe 12 years and limit the congress to 12 year terms also.

So what?

Term limits would be a whole different topic.
