With 13 stripes, 13 stars, 13 olive leaves and 13 arrows; and with the common number for a jury being 12...I've often wondered why it isn't already 13. What's so magical about the number 9 (besides its being 3 x 3)?
Having just a few more justices makes each individual one a little less powerful. Is this a bad thing?
As long as Trump gets to be the one to choose the extra four, and as long as the Senate will approve his picks, I'd be cool with a 9-4 conservative split. :p
I get the superstition around 13, and the 13 Satanic bloodlines; so it'd also be OK if it just stayed at nine.
