I never understood any of this nonsense about term limits or whatever, the solution to a partisan SCOTUS is perfectly simple: raise the bar for confirmation to require 2/3rds of the Senate. That instantly means moderates in both parties have to agree to confirm a justice and kills dead any ideological nominees.

As soon as Democrats get the trifecta, packing the court should be the first order of business. Adding ten seats to SCOTUS and confirming as left wing as possible justices in short order should be priority #1. After all, Republicans would do the exact same thing if the roles were reversed.
Court packing isn't really credible as it would just lead to nullification from red states.
