I do not believe we will ever add judges to the SC. i feel we need to because (The SC has turned into a religious group)

Because of my thinking, is there any way the two houses (and president) could pass some regulations that the SC needs abide by? Today's SC has in my mind has been basically a coconspirator to TFG. Worst court this country has ever had.. I do understand thet SC judges have lifetime appointments, but holy crap this court need some rules to stop their bullshit. Is there anything that our congress can do?

If the court were expanded, I believe it would be tit-for-tat with republicans.
Then one day, we would have more supreme courts justices, than members of Congress.

In a way it's a contract with the American people, part of the social contract. They are not expected to lie their way into a lifetime seat. Additional financial transparency, including sitting Justices. Senate rules about when, where, how quickly, on what calendar, how close to elections hearings can be held. I doubt we'll go after sitting Justices. Thomas is about as close as it gets, and it's about his cozy relationships with billionaires. Going nowhere.

RELIGION in the most powerful court of the land. To impeach these assholes it takes a majority vote in the House, and a 2/3rds majority in the Senate. Is there any way the Senate could change the rules on this? or is it in the Constitution? I fear that's our ONLY chance with these scumbags.
