In early 2020, several Democratic presidential candidates including Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Pete Buttigieg and Beto O’Rourke offered different proposals to reforming the Supreme Court. The proposals include adding 5 democratically elected judges to the current court and imposing term limits on current judges. According to the U.S. federal statute, justices have lifetime tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed from office. Proponents of Supreme Court reform argue that the current court will be filled with too many conservative judges for the next several decades and it is not representative of the US population. Opponents argue that the plans are unconstitutional, would upset the balance of power and reinforce the idea that there are Democratic judges and Republican judges.

@8TVSNS62yrs2Y
I do believe the Supreme Court does need more seats. The number of seats on the Supreme Court matched the number of districts courts. Since there are 13 US District Courts, this means that four more seats should be added to restore the balance, whether the judge is affiliated with the Democrat Party or the Republican Party. Regarding term limits, I am not familiar with this issue
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but only reform to impose term limits on justices with option of having them reappointed or replaced, and allow citizens to decide who shall serve in the Supreme Court to become elected officials and include more seats. Same policy would apply to all federal judicial benches. Overall, there should be an equal number of liberal and conservative judges.
