1. A President may nominate a Supreme Court justice at any time during their Presidency as the need arises. There is no "lame duck" rule.
2. The Senate must begin hearings on a nominee within 30 days of receiving the nomination, and a vote must be taken no more than 60 days later.
3. The confirmation of a Supreme Court justice requires a 67-vote supermajority.
4. The number of justices on the Supreme Court is not to exceed nine.

Put those four things into a Constitutional amendment and the SCOTUS football is deflated.
