1. Expand the Court to 13, with senior judge out every two years.
2. 26 year term limit.
3. Federalist Society trash auto-disqualified.
4. Any nominee is asked if they agree with this statement:
"This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption."

Agreement is a disqualifier.
