IMO the courts are overwhelmed and need to be expanded one way or the other. Increase the number of district courts and have the number of justices match the number of districts. Maybe consider having SCOTUS have enough justices that they can divide up the case load - i.e. lets say there are 14 justices, 7 get randomly assigned to each case. I don't think the current way we do it is going to be sustainable in the long run.
If there's concern about drastically increasing the number of SCOTUS justices under one administration, then roll out the increase slowly. For example, one new justice seat appointed every two years until the new number is reached. That'd allow for a change in senate to have some say, as well as potentially a new executive administration.
