What the Democrats should have done is put forth a cap on the justice count while Republicans feel like winners. If they stack the court back, we'll just see SCOTUS grow every new administration until it's literally meaningless. The court shouldn't even be political. It is there to check runaway politics.

    Not a terrible idea but we are in for some suffering for the duration of these younger heritage foundation appointees. This is the sad result of the dual party system, courts could never remain unbiased without a meaningful 3rd party represented in congress.

    I would also propose term limits. A life prison sentence is 20 years, so why not a lifetime SC appointment capped at the same timeframe?
