When some politicians are inconvenienced by the Constitution, they may seek to change the court that interprets it. Packing the Supreme Court was once agreed to be a radical measure, one that threatens the sanctity of the institution as a politically impartial branch. For over 150 years, Congress has not altered the number of justices on the court, helping to preserve its independence as an institution that renders decisions based on law, not politics. Once in 2021 and again in 2023, Democrats proposed to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court to 13. With the prospect of Democratic majorities in the House and even the Senate in January, the threat to judicial independence is urgent. These proposals would politicize the court and reshape its ideological makeup for partisan gain. Seeing the danger, the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), passed a resolution that, if passed by two-thirds of both the full House and the Senate, would be sent to the states as a proposed amendment fixing the number of justices on the court at nine. To ensure that the Supreme Court is not weaponized for one party’s gain, it is imperative that Congress pass and the states ratify this constitutional amendment.
