Panicked Libs are floating court-packing plans too.
If they get majorities + White House expand POTUS to 15 judges.
I actually would support expanding SCOTUS to 11 Justices, by constitutional amendment:Note that if the number stayed at 9, a two-term POTUS would carry with him 4/9, only one less than a majority, of the court - and each justice would serve for a maximum of 18 years. Fixing the number of justices at 11 changes that to 4/11 of the court named by an individual POTUS - and sets the term of each such justice at 22 years.
- Every presidential candidate should name two potential SCOTUS justices on a date certain before his election.
- Upon election, the two potential justices named by the winning candidate are installed in SCOTUS. Thus, the justices of SCOTUS are elected by the people (via the Electoral College) and need no Senate confirmation.
- After said installation, the most senior justices on SCOTUS retire automatically to hold the number of justices on SCOTUS down to 11.
It is TIME for an FBI investigation of the ACCUSER!
