    Having a supreme court justice for each judicial district seems like a good idea to me, for a total of 13.

    And also having term limits would be great.

      Anyone informed of this simple fact ought to want to expand the court. Who did they interview, anyway? Only the clueles?

      This. Pull judges directly from the Federal Circuit; run them for 8-10 years; then send them back to the Federal Circuit as a ‘Distinguished’ judge.

      Supreme Court Judges should resist political pressure; but they should not be appointed for life.

      Info: A ‘Distinguished Judge’ is a former SCOTUS justice who served their complete term and cannot be re-nominated to the Supreme Court ever again. It is a lifetime title granted when they make it to the SCOTUS and complete one term.
