    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Lindsay Beyerstein

    That was a practical necessity due to Justices physically riding circuit & the absence of permanent circuit-level appellate judges. It is not a coincidence that the Court's size has remained constant since those things changed in 1869. Circuit riding was fully abolished in 1891.https://twitter.com/beyerstein/status/1316775799173853186 …

    One justice per federal circuit court is what the creators of the Supreme Court intended. Time for 13 justices, one for each circuit. https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1316753440198946828 …

        All prior expansions of the Supreme Court between 1802-1869, whatever their other ideological motivations, responded to practical needs driven by circuit riding & expansion of the territorial USA. There is no pretense today that any such thing is needed.

        The Supreme Court has changed to meet the needs of different eras, and it's going to keep changing to remain relevant to our large, complex and growing polity.

        By which you mean your desired outcomes. Let's not pretend this is anything else.

        Twelve justices, staggered 24 year terms, one chief justice for life=13 justices. It's a pretty reasonable proposal actually, historical links to circuit-riding notwithstanding.

        24 year terms ain’t happening without a constitutional amendment.

        If the Supreme Court is expanded, it should happen one seat every 4 years, starting after the next Presidential election.
