Dems Block Plan to Lock SCOTUS at Nine Justices
TL;DR Summary
House Democrats voted 212-206 to kill a proposed constitutional amendment that would lock the Supreme Court at nine justices, a move critics say would curb expansion and tie Democrats to the Democratic Socialists of America; the measure would require a two-thirds vote to pass and faces slim prospects in the Senate, while the nine-seat makeup has stood since 1869 and discussions about expanding the court persist among some lawmakers.
