This. Pull judges directly from the Federal Circuit; run them for 8-10 years; then send them back to the Federal Circuit as a ‘Distinguished’ judge.
Supreme Court Judges should resist political pressure; but they should not be appointed for life.
Info: A ‘Distinguished Judge’ is a former SCOTUS justice who served their complete term and cannot be re-nominated to the Supreme Court ever again. It is a lifetime title granted when they make it to the SCOTUS and complete one term.
Having a supreme court justice for each judicial district seems like a good idea to me, for a total of 13.
And also having term limits would be great.

NGL that sounds pretty cool, judges earning a title for Serving their nation as a member of SCOTUS.
And of course coming with a nice retirement package and a lifetime ban from working for companies who cases they over saw as a justice.
Especially since it’s harder to corrupt a larger pool…
Or at least more expensive.
Anyone informed of this simple fact ought to want to expand the court. Who did they interview, anyway? Only the clueless?
The median voter. So yes, the clueless.
