The SC should be formed by lot from judges in the lower courts, every so often (every session might work OK).

We form other courts by lot. Constitutionally, there just must be a Supreme Court. It doesn’t say how it should be composed.

Packing is a band-aid, and likely to be unpopular. This is a fix with a less nakedly-partisan result, so should be easier to sell.
