I do like the proposed interval based appointments and standardized 18 year terms for justices. I also think that the Supreme Court's composition needs additional restructuring, including expanding it to at least 13 justices, for 13 circuits. I also think expanding it further to 26 justices and having random assignments to cases would be useful. The DC Court of Appeals has 15 judges, so it is singularly odd that the Supreme Court has so few judges to process so mang cases.

And here we are.
