House blocks GOP bid to cap Supreme Court at nine justices
TL;DR Summary
The House rejected a GOP effort to enshrine a nine-justice Supreme Court via a constitutional amendment, failing 211-206; such a change would require a two-thirds House vote, Senate approval, and ratification by three-fourths of the states, making passage highly unlikely, as Democrats criticized the move as political posturing.
