Fixing the Supreme Court in two sentences:
Appoint a new Supreme Court Justice every odd-numbered year. There cannot be more than 12 Supreme Court Justices.
@danalan there are 13 Federal districts. I think there should be a Justice for each one.
@Lindy
The problem is, at some point we need to add more states; if there eventually are 27 federal districts, the number of justices becomes unmanageable.
At some point we'll figure out that global challenges require global government; and begin selling democracy rather than bombing potential clients into submission.
We should have been adding states all along. There should be hundreds of states by now.
@danalan @Lindy I don't know what to say about that except I don't want to expand our country that much further. It's already impossible to encompass our whole society without fury being a common feeling. Humans have cultures and they never succeed when they get beyond a certain size even when they are authoritarian. That's why it's better to have orgs like NATO where similar minded countries can maintain their culture and still take moral stands together as well as common defense.
I think we (the US) as a true melting pot, have both the best chance, and in fact a duty; to bring about world peace and harmony.
Nationalism, racism, sexism, and religion are the enemies of this goal - and you describe nationalism pretty well.
