Can the court and the AG handle the current work load? Might there be a need for more justices (or judges to try cases who are not actually on the court) and a deputy AG to help serve as a prosecutor?
We can handle it, but it is a strain, I must confess. At least for myself.
I would not support an increase in the number of justices, but I think that the idea of a Trial Court is an excellent one. This way any cases appealed to us (the Supreme Court) will not have been tried by one of us. An assistant AJ is a great idea too.
I wonder how many people think a trial court of say 1-3 justices would be a good idea? They could be general federal trial judges or they could be assigned certain regions as their individual purview.
I apologize if it is inappropriate for a sitting justice to interject opinion in this thread, but I think we should voice our comments on practical matters such as this.
