Wouldn't this need to be a constitutional amendment? The number of justices has been limited to nine by law because it is a law governing the behavior of the Senate and president to not nominate more.
Ever notice how dems always propose short-term, perceived-benefit solutions to their long-term problems? I think it's the same as the legislative rules they pass than end up biting them in the ass and the cult of short-term gratification we see in popularized in today's "pop culture"
How about we start with Congress
And two appointments per president. Who appoints the rest, congress?

Yes, the Constitution simply says a SCOTUS justice (and lower federal courts) shall hold their offices during good behaviour.
This has always been interpreted as "until they choose to leave, die, or are removed from office via impeachment".

Not the next term, just the next president.
If all you care about is the reform, you’d be for it.
We know you won’t accept - and that’s a confession of your actual motive.
