Here would be my rule for Supreme Court Appointments:

When the President makes a nomination, the Senate has a certain amount of time (let's say 60 days) to go through the confirmation process, hold hearings, and vote. If a vote is not held within 60 days of the President's nomination, the President's nominee is automatically seated.

That is absolutely terrible.

- Mandate supermajority votes in Senate for all judicial candidates

3/5ths or 2/3rds (like most Constitutional supermajorities)? If 2/3rds, you can pretty much guarantee that the federal judiciary will end up pretty much completely vacant.

2/3rds. Obviously that would go in hand with my other proposed reforms, the idea being towards guaranteeing consensus nominees
How do guarantee consensus nominees? Just curious...

My Top 3 Amendments:

1. Make the Second Amendment clear that it applies to citizens possessing, carrying, and using firearms (including so-called "assault weapons")

2. Repeal the 17th Amendment

3. Make the Hyde Amendment permanent


What's wrong with the 17th amendment?
