6 votes to 3. Ain't democracy great!!!
Seems like a pretty crazy system, you can remain in the SC for life once selected and the selections are heavily political. I assume it would be possible for a President to nominate all 9 justices if all of the previous 9 died/retired during their term?

Think the US Supreme Court will be reformed pretty soon. Ridiculous to have such a small number of overtly political appointees, who then have tenure for life, if they want (thus drastically reducing turnover). Warps it from a legal institution into a partisan forum for driving policy, over the heads of elected President and Congress.
