7. I like the Mexican Supreme Court.

Tuesday

I don't think that just increasing the number will really solve the problems long term. There was a DU post about the Mexican Supreme Court the other day.

They are elected directly by the people.
They serve a limited term, I guess one rolls off and is replaced each year.
This is what I remember, I'm sure there's more, but this is a start.

I will add:
You serve ONCE.
There have to be minimum requirements for the position.
The same ethics as the entire rest of the judiciary! NO MOTORHOMES! Who would make that decision and enforce any wrongdoing?
Increase the number to match the number of districts (13??)
Recall or impeachment rules need to be changed to make it NON-POLITICAL.
How do we, the people say...."B.S., that ruling is incorrect!" ???

What have I missed?
