The Supreme Court is too powerful and anti-democratic. Here's how we can scale back its influence.

2. Lifetime appointments should require a supermajority

Mitch McConnell wouldn't have been able to play his games if all judges required at least 60 votes. That would have prevented the ability to push unqualified candidates with just a simple majority. He may have been able to block Obama nominees, but then he wouldn't have been able to fill the open slots either. With a 60 vote threshold, the really awful candidates wouldn't even want to be considered. I'd rather see half of the positions left open then to have someone like Barrett on the Supreme Court.
