a bill wouldn’t do it, has to be a constitutional amendment to change that.
Dang it. Lol.
To “pack” the court would require a law. Currently, the Supreme Court’s size is fixed at 9 (1 chief justice, 8 associates) by the Judiciary Act of 1869.
This is why FDR’s court-packing scheme didn’t work; no support for changing the law to allow him to nominate 6 new judges.
My guess is that’s why the D’s want to get rid of the filibuster, so they don’t need 60 votes to pass a new Judiciary Act.
