Clearly the SCOTUS isn't very impartial when at least 6 of the 9 votes are entirely predictable based on the politics of the case.  As it stands, those 6 votes generally offset, but that means 3 judges are mostly deciding those cases.  And maybe 3 is all you really need with the other 6 making compelling arguments.  But the SCOTUS could be dramatically altered by the next President appointing up to 3 Justices....which is pretty scary.

Not elected. You are appointed, and your appointment lasts for a specified amount of time. Say 15 or 20 years.
