Efficiency, and productivity can can be attained by the manipulation of movement and space, to the point that speed is irrelevant and not necessary, and thus makes the task more safe.
Supreme Court expansion is a bad idea. President Franklin Roosevelt, or FDR, tried it in 1937. Some of Roosevelt's more unconstitutional policies to help Americans during the Depression were struck down by the Supreme Court, or SCOTUS. So FDR decided to pass a law that made every SCOTUS Justice over a certain age, too old, and would have to be replaced by him. He could then appoint jurists who agreed with his policies. The SCOTUS nomination process needs an update to come into the 21st Century. But expansion is not the solution. A better solution is a time limit as a SCOTUS Jurist. 20 years, then the jurist retires, and whoever is President in office gets to choose. Rotate the retirements to make sure every administration gets at least 1 SCOTUS choice, per administration. That is more fair and equitable for the people, and for justice.

The building formerly a doctor's office and another building formerly an auto parts store and a deli are now gone, razed and hauled to the recycling mill of our memory.

The Christmas tree salesman in the parking lot by Sears. The decorated light posts. The Christmas music while you shopped in the mall. The package wrapping tables for the gift wrapping challe...
The Federalist papers, are the foundation text of constitutional interpretation, and are cited by American jurists and court systems in general. Madison Understood that politicians and the individuals in public service would all have ideas that they were passionate about and that they wanted to enact. The federalist system was the solution to make sure that laws and ideas were not enacted by a small group of partisan individuals. To achieve this, the use of different levels of government had to be done by different branches. Each branch having the authority to impact legislation proposed by other branches. One way Federalist 51 was able to encourage checks and balances was by emphasizing that justice was the end to which civil society aims. That it be it be pursued "until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit". Madison echoing such thinkers as Hobbes, "the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger". Madison asserted ...
