Members being unable to respond in quick fashion is their fault. There is nothing wrong with adding two new members of the court (well one really since the alternate would move up so its really only semi new).

I'm curious as to why you'd want this... All court cases of recent memory have gone in your favor. More justices would slow down the process, regardless of who's fault that is it's simply a fact. Furthermore, as the US Supreme Court illustrates, more justices does not mean that we would have fewer close splits. The court as we have it now gives a good ratio, 2 in agreement for every 1 opposed. Adding two more justices potentially drops the ratio to 1.3 in agreement for every one opposed. Finally the court is not a place where I want "different perspectives". The court should have only one perspective, that being the constitution. Anything else is not upholding the office and is simply furthering an agenda.
