There's nothing sacred or constitutionally required about nine justices. Also, with 13 different federal circuits, there's a case to be made for increasing the size of the court, at least on average. So rather than having a fixed size, the law could be changed so that at the start of each Congress, the President gets to nominate a Justice for a life term. When a justice dies or retires, the size of the court goes down by one. When a new one is confirmed, it goes up by one. That way, we keep both the advantage of having life terms for the judiciary while at the same time ensuring we don't have the fiasco that happened at the end of Obama's term from occurring.
