If we replace a scotus judge every 2 years, they would individually have 18 year terms.
If we assume they’re experienced enough to actually be on the SC, they’ll be pretty close to retirement age anyhow. (If they’re 40, and that’s young, they’ll be 58 when they’re done.)
This doesn’t really change the slow nature of the court. What it does, is to remove unpredictable nature of appointments. Right now, we have a hyper conservative judge because McConnel played games and certain judges died at very inconvenient times. A consequence there is a SCOTUS that doesn’t reflect America at large.
Mandate ethics standards, add in term limits.
I like the idea of a scheduled rotation. Let’s say, every two years, or mid year to give presidents time to get the hearings out.
Senate must begin immediate and expeditious proceedings for confirmation.
Finally, and most importantly, their robes must be tie dye.
