If my dreams come true and Biden and a Republican majority in the senate are elected, we will still need a Supreme Court that rules for everyone in America.

About the only way that can happen is if the number of justices is increased which is considered very unlikely. Justice Ginsburg repeatedly stated that her appointment was important because she provided a woman's perspective to the court. Our country is made up of so many different people and most of them do not have their perspective represented on the Supreme Court. Increasing the number of justices could make that happen. If everyone's perspective could be represented by a wise and deliberative Justice from all of our many different factions, how many Justices would that take?

Until the political aspect of selecting justices there will never be fair, unbiased judicial decisions. A start would be to remove the requirement of a presidential nomination.

How would they be selected then?

@Lorajay By a cross-party committee, Followed by presidential assent. Then approval by both houses?

@Petter That would require a Constitutional Amendment, which would be next to impossible in our current political condition.

@SageDave How about s couple of tons of plutonium, strategically positioned under the Senate and White House, etc?

@Petter No. That would mean killing off the 48 Democrats in the chamber.

@SageDave invite them to an important, high security, party policy debate to be held on the chosen day?
Shame, really. Guy Fawkes tried something similar, but it was discovered 12 hours befoer "big bang" time.
