Create a National Court of Appeals. (Pack it with young, good progressive judges). All appeals from district courts and courts of appeals go here.
Strip the Supreme Court of its appellate jurisdiction. Give it its constitutional original jurisdiction only. So it's going to get very few cases, thus giving Clarence PubicHair more nap-time.

Problems solved.
