We're genuinely in a situation where we need more everything, such is life when you have a country of 350 million people and a quarter of that population is at an age where people wouldn't question their retirement

There could probably stand to be more circuits in addition to having 1 Supreme Court Justice at the head of each circuit. We need drastically more judges.

Narrator: surprising everyone, it was not a joke.

Double the size of the federal judiciary, then have each individual SCOTUS case decided by a panel of of justices randomly drawn from the entire expanded federal judiciary

We also need more court personnel! More clerks, law clerks/court attorneys, etc. it’s going to be even worse as AI also results in more filings for the courts to handle. The system is dramatically understaffed

We should also just remove bad judges. People will say we can't. They're wrong.

Well known atheist communist Jimmy Carter expanded the federal bench by a third! We should expand the number of federal circuits to 15 (and add supporting judges to existing circuits), then expand the number of SCOTUS judges to match the number of circuit courts.

Last year I learned that elected judges in NY townships & villages aren't required to hold any law degree. Just in case anyone feels like mixing things up.

I bet they’ll be able to find ABA-qualified candidates in their thirties too!
