Should the Supreme Court be expanded by giving all former presidents a seat?


Under this plan, any president who has served more than half a term in office, upon leaving office, would receive a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. If they die or retire, their seat would be eliminated without replacement.

The only president currently alive that I'd trust to be able to decide what is and isn't Constitutional is Jimmy Carter. Every other one has blatant disregards for citizens' privacy, extrajudicially killed our own citizens, detained citizens indefinitely, and one of them is blatantly a fucking war criminal.

And there's probably shit on Carter too (I'm just not aware of it/been exposed to it), so this is a hard no from me on all angles.

I wouldn't trust any president on either side to be able to interpret laws fairly (and it'd just end up in vastly more mudslinging due to increasing the stakes)
