I tend to the position that any "fix" to SCOTUS is likely going to be worse than the current situation. Vox has 10 possibilities discussed here.
I heard of an intriguing suggestion, can't remember where now: each president gets to appoint two justices to the court. The court is composed of the 9 most recent living appointees. Any others still living who wish can take senior status (as Justice Souter has). Except for the possibility of the Senate refusing to confirm an appointee, which I've seen handled in another proposal, it seems a reasonable suggestion.
