I've said it before, I'll say it again: pitch it as increasing SCOTUS to at least 100 Justices, with randomly selected pools of 9 to hear each case, such that no single Justice matters so much.

There should be an earnest call to pack the courts by Dem leadership. It should be a thought out campaign to explain to the American people why it’s necessary.

I think that would not work because it would destroy stare decisis. Everything would be decided by the random draw of judges for a given case, and everyone would know it. The result would be a breakdown of consistent rules for law; every case appealed to SCOTUS to see which panel it gets.

But Manchin & Welch's proposal to serve 18 years, with 2 justices appointed during each presidential term (plus replacements to fill out a term) seems quite viable to me.
