Excellent article. I was completely unaware of the Roberts-Reagan report on Article 3.2.

Though not mentioned above, I imagine you may want to include Scotus "Term Limits" as part of the lists of changes needed for the court.

Term Limits would substantially reduce the rigging and packing of the court by members of Scotus and the Senate. And would contribute to avoiding the devastating and stunningly bogus decisions like 2000 Bush Vs. Gore, where Justices O'Connor, Thomas, and Rehnquist would not have been present to appoint Bush so that O'Connor could retire and be replaced by a Republican president's appointment (18 year limit, and they're gone - for a 9 judge bench).

Term Limits would stop the hoarding, rigging, and packing, of seats by the Justices, where 2 of their seats have remained in Republican control since Eisenhower (Stewart> O'Connor> Alito), and Nixon (Powell> Kennedy> Kavanaugh)! Those 2 seats provide the margin of votes casting us into this abyss, with the help of Moscow Mitch's packing, and the too-long-serving Thomas.
