(This is kind of based on some European countries manchanism to elect non-exective Head of States and the like.)
Remove power to nominate and select SCOTUS members from POTUS. Have them elected in a secret ballot by a full sitting of Congress three at a time via Single Transferable vote for 12 year terms. The STV is to endure the bench are always represenative of the full idealogical diversity of the present. The secret ballot is to remove the unseemly partisan hysterics around the topic.
So at the beginning of 2016, each member pf Congress would rank his or her choices of qualified applicants; and the selected three (which would presumebly be of the liberal, right and centre wings) would have 12 year terms. Four years later, new congress (I also oppose two year terms) would elect another three; four years later another new congress and anither slate elected.
