On Wednesday, a Republican-led House panel “advanced a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would permanently limit the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court to nine, citing the potential for Democrats to someday ‘pack the court’ if they regain control of Congress,” according to Reuters. “The U.S. House Judiciary Committee voted 15-8 along party lines to move forward the proposed constitutional amendment despite long odds that it would ever be finalized.” To pass, the amendment would need the support of two-thirds of the House and Senate, “and 38 states would then need to vote to ratify it.”
