Re: Lindsey Graham dies suddenly

I would like to see a non-partisan form of court packing.

Current justices retain their lifetime appointments. Going forward, on January 21 of each odd year, the president gets to nominate a justice for an 18 year term. The number of justices may fluctuate a bit but will never go down to zero.

Liberals had a 30 year run of good luck starting with FDR and ending with the appointment of Thurgood Marshall by LBJ, making the court way more liberal than the country as a whole. Conservatives have now had a 60 year run of luck making making the court way more conservative than the country as a whole. This has been bad for the country in both directions.
