Should SCOTUS be a larger nonpartisan court?

BOX SCORE: A Grand Supreme Court

Puzzle Summary:

POLI the AI, asks, "Where can we agree?" Grand juries frequently have 23 jurors and SCOTUS has just nine jurists. The US population is 130x that of 1776. SCOTUS's approval rating is now 40%. SCOTUS has become a "deck to stack" and not the required impartial check and balance of the legislative and executive branches of government.

What if SCOTUS went up to 18 or 23 jurists with evenly staggered term limits of 18 years ending in off-election years, maintain a justices-in-waiting pool of 8 selected by at least 2/3rds of a large balanced nonpartisan independent council (NIC) in the executive branch assisted by AI, 60 Senate votes to confirm a candidate, 67 votes to override a presidential veto, cycle through candidates, if no one is confirmed by a deadline then the selection will be by lottery of the pool members?

ONE PARROT rules that SCOTUS should be as it always has been. THE OTHER PARROT objects that the court has become a game of capture the flag,  and decades on the bench loses touch with the people. What did our nonpartisan scoring system say?
