Just hit the wires…
Congressional Democrats plan to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure.
The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. The number of justices on the Court has fluctuated widely throughout the course of the nation’s history. Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the quick confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones.
In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
This story is developing…
yup
Benedict Biden: That’s his name!
Destroying America: That’s his game!!

None.
SCOTUS will be dissolved via martial law and/or CW.
This is another reason to repeal the 17th Amendment.. too many rinos
The names of the Congressional and Senate fools pushing the bill tell the whole story.
My first thought was, will Governor Abbott call the Texas legislature into special session to vote on secession? A vote to secede and they become the Texas Congress again.
