Supreme Court Seat
#1
Greetings my Eastern Kentucky Brothers and Sisters,

With the election going on not the 40 plus like people have said (we are already voting). The GOP will fill the seat. The Dems will cry about it because of 2016. Ok we know all of that is going to happen. So lets move on to the next steps.

Dems will win House (already have wide margin and will continue) Dems will probably win senate. Dems will win President. 

Ok lets assume that happens, (if I could know the future, I would buy a lottery ticket and treat everyone of you to a beer).
 
The Dems then decide to pack the court up to 13 Supreme Court Judges. The GOP will cry. 

All the above is legal.

Ok now what... 

Here is what I think should happen to save the republic; 

We need as I can tell four amendments to the constitution; 1. Cap the Supreme Court, the reason for the packing can happen is because there is no limit. Also, this idea has been floated out but I am not sure about this idea but set a term limit of 18 years to the Supreme Court. Andrew Yang's idea. But might be worth discussing. 

Amendment 2: Set term limit for all of Congress. The details of this would need to be worked but basically limiting the federal government

Amendment 3: Set finance laws to get rid of all money in politics. This would be an end to PACs, Super Pacs, and the such. Right now because of a ruling in 2012 a corporation has rights as a citizen. Irony. But stay on topic. 

Amendment 4: Set the rules in more of a clear form to pick a Supreme Court Justice. Is one available to be picked in an election year etc. 
This really needs to stand alone for the first amendment. 

Thoughts?
