House Republican proposes constitutional amendment to prevent Supreme Court expansion
This was introduced:
The amendment, which has no path to succeed with Democrats controlling both chambers of Congress, is a response to a bill introduced by Democrats that proposes expanding the size of the Supreme Court from nine justices to 13.
Make everyone play by the same rules!
“The Supreme Court must faithfully interpret the Constitution. We cannot allow it to fall victim to partisan attempts to pack it with far-left radicals,” Biggs said in a statement. “This desperate power-grab by Democrats will only further divide our Nation. I will not stand for a ‘Supreme Coup’ of our highest court.”
So true!
For a constitutional amendment to succeed, two-thirds of both chambers of Congress must approve the language. Two-thirds of state legislatures would have to support holding a constitutional convention, and three-fourths of state legislatures would have to ratify the amendment.
So little no no chance of it succeeding.
But at least there are people who are standing up for the republic and the constitution.
Too many Americans view our highest court in the land as a partisan, political institution, not our impartial judicial branch of government..
And sadly, so many of them WANT IT to be partisan, so that their toxic far left agendas can be forced thru.
Maybe the idea that:
…imposing term limits on justices, who currently serve lifetime appointments…
Might be one of the only realistic and viable options.
