I noted this AM....a suggestion put forth by the Democratic strategist...probably aimed for 2028: bringing the Supreme Court to 13 (instead of the nine presently), getting both DC and Puerto Rico arranged for statehood (adding four Senators),
I pondered over this.
I'm of the mind we should reset the Supreme Court entirely....mandating 50 Justices (one from each state), and a lucky-pick situation for each hearing....selecting nine folks to hear a case (at random). At the same time, I'd limit the term to one single term of seven years....then forced retirement.
As for the statehood thing....I'm already open to allow in Alberta and Saskatchewan....as they exit Canada. I guess I'm open for five or six other provinces as well.
I'm pretty open for Guam to enter.
I could see the logic of Puerto Rico....although each time this has come up to a vote....folks there just wanted the status of 'no-change'.
Approaching the current Senate and saying it might have to find room to allow 20 more Senators in the hall? Some of the old guys would freak out.
