I think it's silly to just add seats so a future Republican majority can add 10 more seats, then it becomes race which party can add more of its judges to the courts. We'll be up to 100 judges by 2040.

I think adding 2 seats, but also adding several temporary seats and let the appellate and district judges sit on different cases and let it rotate it throughout the country so it'll make it impossible for anyone to know the outcome for a case. This way is much more durable and healthier for the republic.
