I could go for term limits, though. 20-25 years is plenty IMO.

I'd also expand it, to at minimum 13, and possibly more. That way, one president can't have as much influence in the overall makeup of the court like happened with trump.

Frankly, the judiciary seems to be woefully understaffed. Cases should not take years to resolve.
