Nope, they can actually reduce the number of members of the supreme court before then.
Unless ComDems gain house & senate, he cannot use that power.

This election season has to be the wildest in a long time. One of the candidates has a massive investigation being conducted against her.
One of the candidates keeps getting sued over his eligibility.
The most conservative Justice is found dead with a pillow on his head and is pronounced dead over the phone.
What’s next?

Advise and consent is Senate only...
Rubio said he isn't running again...so that's one seat...
I'm saying to be watchful...We need to hold the Senate to stop any appointment.
To: SoFloFreeper
Totally Agree. The future of the nation depends on it.
And the GOP leadership needs a testro boost and a huge boldness injection.

Hillary is quite the little bomb thrower.
To: Sacajaweau
But Congress can change the number of Justices, which would require both houses.
