9. Corrupt Supreme Court. When Biden wins and we win the Senate, the DEMS MUST

make some major changes to the Supreme Court.

-Term Limits 30 Years or 70 years old, whichever comes first. Effective immediately.

-Increase the number of Supreme Court Justices to the number of Federal Appeal courts. There are currently 13 Federal Appeal courts.

-Only 9 Justices may hear a case and the Justices are on a rotating schedule.

-Create a requirement that no spouse, partner, child, family member of a Supreme Court Justice may bring a case to the Supreme Court or be involve in any entity that brings a case to the Supreme Court.

-If any Justice is suspected of being influenced by outside factors while deciding a case, a vote must be taken by all the Justices as whether or not the suspected Justice stays on the case.

These simple rules would drastically improve the perceptions of our now corrupt Supreme Court.
