I don't understand why this idea is still being debated. The court has functioned fine for 8 years with three members. There's barely anything for us to do as is, but obviously reducing the court to two members would result in ties, and reducing it to one member would be giving a single person far too much power. So we have three... and it's just the right number.

I was being semi-sarcastic and suggesting that reducing the court would make more sense than expanding it, but I don't support either obviously.

In addition to my first post, I read you talk about how there would be more debate . Justices, IRL and here in Atlasia, typically have most of their debate and discussions in private. How do you know we don't have enough debate? And how would you know whether or not there was an increase if we increased the size?
