Supreme Court Justices serve for life, yet can be approved in the senate by the slimmest of margins- just 51/100 votes!. In our highly partisan world, this low hurdle eliminates any incentive to select justices with centrist or apolitical records.

Let's improve on the Constitution to encourage consensus and compromise. The solution is a constitutional amendment requiring a super-majority (60%) of Senators to approve a court nomination. Only then can all Americans look to the Supreme Court as a neutral arbiter that rises above politics.
