Because there weren't enough lawyers and judges to pack a pub on a Saturday night? Much less a tennis court....drop the word tennis...

The lack of term limits is one of the biggest omissions in the Constitution. It was included in the Articles of Confederation, but not included in the Constitution.

Because there is at least a valid argument to be made that nine justices is not enough for the current population
I do not see why an increase in population requires more judges or a change in the process. Laws are laws, irrespective of the population.

Then I would ask you why not just have a single justice?

The Framers would have never believed we would still be here using their constitution. They were pretty confident that a revolution would have happened by now

Lol. Press has always been biased. They knew this. Look up Alien and Sedition Act.

There’s a lot of rules they didn’t specifically write because they were wise enough to know that they didn’t know everything. They gave us a solid framework and an amendment process.

lol our framers didn't even give the USSC the power of judicial review. it gave it to itself
Yeah the Court was really a mechanism to make Congress do better than mediocre...
But congress is basically shite
