Yeah, we have to shut down the borders for a year at least until we have the proper methods to vet these people out. If the Democrats can be willing to shut the border down for one or two years as we place better electronic infrastructure to track illegal movement, then the border can be open for asylum seekers (only if vetted of course). We need a way of figuring out if these asylum seekers are committing fraud. Say the borders got shut down in July 2024. We should spend the next two years placing drone launch sites and cameras on our border to track these individuals entering illegally, and then train an AI on tracking movements which can notify border police. AI training takes a while, so two years should give plenty of time. A "digital wall" of sorts could be impenetrable compared to a physical wall someone could climb.
Well, imagine if the SCOTUS contained 5 people. That means, it would be easy for a majority, such as 3-2 or 2-3 to happen. When this is increased to 9, then a 5-4 or 4-5 could happen. At 11, we could have a 6-5 or a 5-6. More justices could give us more brainpower in the court, and closer probabilities for both sides to have a say. Also, it would be nice if there was at least one libertarian judge, and one centrist judge to account for Americans who are libertarian or centrist. I am the latter.
They can retire anytime they see fit.I understand. But, hey, I believe that SCOTUS officials should be able to hang out with their family after reaching a certain age or time of being in office, but yes, the Constitution did not set out any term limits.
For myself, it would be rough having to be in a high-stakes position at age 80+. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was 87 when she passed away, and was in court duties up through that time in 2020. A retirement age of 80, or term duration of 20 years could be a compromise.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87

That is good. If I was a justice, I would retire at age ~70 to hang out with my family, assuming I would have children in the future as a young man right now.
Well, since revisiting the Chevron case (where SCOTUS repudiated itself (again) and decided that, no, the regulatory Agencies do not get to “decide” cases internally but rely exclusively on the courts, there’s going to be a ton more work for The Nine, they might as well get ahead of the game by having a boarder coalition of The Brethen.
Yeah, we need to shut down MS-13. If that means military action, it means military action. CCTV could be used to identify border crossings, along with drones. But the tech is not there yet.
Only the Right’s long struggle with the Administrative State
The venue for adjudicating Agency v. the Regulated cases , cease being decided by the internal agency administrative-judges and lands back into district courts (which are ill-equipped to deal with thorny, technical, jargon-laded issues) which will ensure that appealable errors will abound; more work for the Circuits, more work for SCOTUS, (eventually).
We had gotten up to nine justices when the nation had but ~40 million people; granted technology has vastly increased the Justices efficiency but having the same number seems wildly optimistic.
