1.) The Supreme Court should have a binding code of ethics.
2.) The maximum age for a sitting Supreme Court Justice should be 65. The maximum age for appointment should be 55.
3.) The Supreme Court should have a term limit of 12 years with a maximum of one term in a person’s lifetime.
4.) The Supreme Court should be expanded. Not entirely sure to what number but in my head I envision a pool of justices from which are randomly chosen and assigned:
First: 9 are chosen for 1 term to review the cases that are being asked to be heard by the Supreme Court and determine if they should be on the docket two terms later.
Second: 9 are chosen to hear the cases that are on the docket for that term.
Third: 9 backup justices are chosen to take the place any of the currently active ones in the event they are unable to perform their duties. I find it hard to believe it would be necessary but absolute safety and caution tells me the backup pool should total 18. 9 to take the place of those reviewing cases and 9 to take the place of those actively hearing cases.
Fourth: No justice will serve in the same role for more than two consecutive terms and no more than five total terms in any one role over their 12 year appointment.
But that’s just all the shit I made up in my head.

Ah, so you’ve applied a similar amount of rigor as the founding fathers.
At least he’s honest about it
