Isn't that why the constitution provides for <Nine> justices, though? The number of justices on SCOTUS isn't set by the Constitution, it's set by Congress. Throughout history there have been as many as 10 and as few as 5 justices. Is it not odd(?) that USA appoints people with no ideas ever expressed, over peoplel like Posner who actually have something important to say? Welcome to U.S. politics.
