Im pretty sure I will be dead before we have a functioning supreme court if that ever even happens at this point.
It will require a constitutional amendment, and one of the two parties in this country tries to act like you can't change the constitution, even though we changed it as recently as the 1990s, and have effectively averaged 1 amendment per decade
the court can be expanded without an amdendment.
I meant meaningful long term change that removes corrupt justices through due process and can't just be undone the next time one party or the other holds both houses and the presidency
If it gets undone by the next administration it can be redone by the one after that. Honestly at this point I don't give a shit if the supreme court has a thousand judges on it. More the merrier. Bring it on.
As they are lifetime appointments, our only options are either packing the courts, impeachment (which requires 2/3 votes,) or human mortality.
