We need a thirteen justice Supreme Court.

37. I agree, here is what I proposed and I sent it to the White House ...

Increase the number of SCOTUS to 13, but randomly draw only 9 justices per case.
Those 9 justices should have a majority based on who is sitting in the WH.
So if there is a Democratic President, then each case during that term, SCOTUS is 5-4 Liberal leaning.
If there is a Republican President, then each case during that term, SCOTUS is 5-4 Conservative leaning.

Also, there should be an Associate Chief Justice so that current CJ Roberts doesn't have to sit for every case.

This would make it hard for nefarious groups to create specific lawsuits to arrive at SCOTUS with a fixed justices to rule in their favor.
This makes it highly risky to do this.

Since there are 13 Circuit Courts, 13 seems to be the obvious number, assigning a Circuit Court per Justice.

Anyway, that's how I perceive the SCOTUS should be implemented.
