Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Triple the SC Justices. The current number selected as they are now, on a rotating plan of renewal/term limits.
Another set voted on by the voters, also on a rotation.
Another set chosen by the SC itself by super majoroty selection.
Which jidges hear which cases is a subset selected at random.
If they get to choose a set, and that set is able to be a part of future choosing then don't you get locked into one side or the other again?
Yes.
Adding justices won’t help.
What WILL help is make all Bitch McConnell’s tactics for thwarting democrats selecting justices illegal.
Another set chosen by the SC itself by super majoroty selection.
Why this and not just have them also voted on by the people or at least Congress?
This seems like something the founding fathers would've devised to protect against "mob rule"(actual democracy)
To help ensure the Justices themselves are impatial since they have to agree on their other justices.
Bingo. The biggest won the supreme Court ever got was the ability to pick and choose what they want to hear and when based on the idea that they only have so much time and so many justices.
Increase the justices and make any case seen by a random pool of justices so everything can be heard and you can't shop for the justices you want to hear your case.
is this possible to do?
Adding all that won’t help. Any system you come up with will just be gamed. Trump is in office because he was voted in. You don’t think 9 justices would have been also??
Also gaming any government system results in the rest of life in fuck you in the ass prison.
