I did and could find no reference to the number of justices and how that number could be changed.

You said, "the Supreme Court can change the Constitution." What's the number of Justices got to do with that?

Please provide me with specific references (chapeter and verse).

Uh - no. Mac, it's your responsibility to study the Constitution for yourself.

I am very worried about this potentiality with this new crowd coming to power. I would like some level of assurance that it will not easily happen.

I hear you. I'm worried too. In the end, our only real security is in ourselves. The social contract between The People and their government is obviously broken. We must confront the fact that the day may have finally arrived where it's up to us to restore the Republic.

Not to belabor a mute point but my statement was NOT they could change the Constitution but they could declare it effectively null and void. The number has to do with it because you would need a majority of justices to support and you are not going to get it with Roberts, Scalia, etc.

Your the one that told me that my study of the Constitution was wrong. nope nope nope was your terms. I am just asking for you to support your statements that I am wrong. You may not believe my statements, which is your prerogative. However, your statement needs support not mine.

The current mix of the SCOTUS has already demonstrated that they are willing to go well beyond the Constitution for justification for their actions; citing an unratified treaty as their source material and ignoring the Constitutional provisions.

Yes this a time for great concern about the future of this country.
