Lets see this one get passed!!
Go, Ted, go!
The constitutional amendment is as simple as can be: “The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices.” Pass it with a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate, then get it ratified by 38 states, and our worries about court-packing will be over.
This could be accomplished in a week (assuming all state leg are in session). But it won’t
The things our Founding Fathers did not think to do because they never thought they had to. They never envisioned a country populated with petulant children.
Please read how Jackson, the founding Democrat President stacked the Supreme Court, his appointment of Taney from Maryland who became the longest reigning chief Justice, and how the Democrat stacked Supreme Court led to the Dred Scott decision and the Civil War.
History is trying to repeat itself.
Never get 2/3’s in either the House and Senate.
D’s will line up against it.
2/3 vote of the Hiouse and Seante is required.
LOL!
For more than 150 years, the number of justices on the Supreme Court has been set, by law, at nine – “the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices,” in the words of the Judiciary Act of 1969.
Not 1969, *1869*!
The Court is not working fine. It's acting as a super legislature when the Constitution, Article I, Section 1, says "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress . . .."
This means NO legislative powers are granted to either the Courts or the Executive. Thus, the Courts do not have the power to invalidate laws.
The Supreme Court is power-drunk out of control. E.g., Obergefell v. Hodges , among many others. QED.
A very good idea that would win instant acceptance in the States.
So important, yet sleepy stink finger gropey Joe Biden is not being asked if he will pack the court if he wins.
More ridiculous posturing by a Senator doing what they all do best - dishing out BS.
They need to add if it is OK for the court to rule while vacancies are being filled.
