13. I agree with the expansion of the court to weaken individual justices.

The part about killing the filibuster and the "Let’s see how courageous they are without any gridlock shield to hide behind- pass anything you want, let the people experience the consequences, and give you their feedback at the ballot box." Part I dont because the damage done could be un repairable.

But back to the Scotus, I am not sure how it should be handled. More justices would be good as I said to weaken an individual justice. But just Slap happy expanding it is not the answer. Having 50 or 100 or 200 justices is where we would wind up. Maybe 20-25 and then randomly picking 9 to hear cases would work. Basically the way the lower courts handle it with panels, with the ability for the entire court if extraordinary circumstances, but that should not be the norm.
