My proposal is for every President to get four picks during his term, with a ceiling of 100 Justices.

That way, a single pick cannot unbalance the Court. Outside influence groups would have their power greatly diluted. We would not need these political fights over the candidate's ideology. Decisions would not be derailed by a handful of corrupt or ideologically bent Justices.
