9. That's the easiest way of course but I'd rather we have a complete revamp of SCOTUS.

Dec 9

My preferred method would be for a randomly selected Federal Judge is chosen and offered to sit for a single 9 year termon SCOTUS after which they are usually ineligible to serve as a Federal Judge at any level. They can decline to serve though on scotus if they so wish but they are then automatically removed from their current position and cannot ever be a judge at the Federal leve usually.

Staggering that you would see a new Judge every year and if a judge dies while serving then one of the ones that served before or declined to is randomly selected and offered to sit on the bench for the remainder of the term.

This way stacking SCOTUS is extremely difficult for any party to accomplish.
