I have given thought to remaking the federal courts

[jmowreader]

We are NOT going to expand the Supreme Court. That’s a given.

What we could do, with bipartisan support, is change the length of service.

Under this plan, a president would seat three Supreme Court justices and a third of the circuit court. If this came into being, one year after a president was inaugurated he or she would place into nomination a list of people to serve on each court, and once they were approved the longest serving third would move into Senior status. If the president is re-elected he or she doesn’t get another third - this is a once-in-an-administration thing. And if, deity forbid, Trump gets re-elected he doesn’t get a second batch.

The Republicans didn’t like Stephen Reinhardt and RBG staying on the court for decades any more than we like Trump’s walking disasters potentially doing the same thing, so they’d probably like the fact a judge or justice wouldn’t be there more than 24 years.

1. Now that they have their right-wing majority the repubs will do nothing to alter the court
