The best option would be to increase its size — it was designed to have as many justices as there are appeals circuits, but the number of appeals circuits was rasied without increasing the size of the Supreme Court.

Thomas could be indicted & arrested on corruption charges today, on facts that are publicly known about him.
However meritorious this might be, the Republicans would still have a 5-seat majority on the Supreme Court.
