After a lot of talking and thinking....Biden's commission on updating the Supreme Court came to a conclusion. The only thing that they did seem to agree upon....maybe there ought to be a 'cycle' where a Supreme Court judge stands for 18 years, then moves on. This would be done in a cycle, ensuring each President had one chance to nominate a new guy/gal.
Getting this actually done? Well....you'd have to go to the Constitution, and get a two-third's vote of both the House and Senate....then get 38 states to agree to this.
Added to this burden, logically....once you openly discussed this 'forced' upon the Supreme Court.....the public would ask why you couldn't do the same thing to the House and Senate....enforcing a 18-year cycle upon them.
For a lot of Democrats who felt the commission would write the script to 'fix' their court problem? This was a total failure.
