Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Wednesday introduced a constitutional amendment that would set the number of justices on the Supreme Court of the United States to nine.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Wednesday will introduce an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would set the number of Supreme Court justices at nine.
In October 2020, just before the presidential election, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said"everything is on the table"when asked what Democrats could do about the court if they regained control of the Senate that year. Calls then intensified after the Court overturned Roe v. Wade in a landmark decision last year."Right-wing extremists have hijacked the Supreme Court of the United States," progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted last year after a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked."We must #ExpandTheCourt to rebalance it and defend our basic rights, including the constitutional right to an abortion.
House Republicans introduced a companion amendment in January, waring that Democratic lawmakers will"weaponize" the high court if they gain control of Congress.READ THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. APP USERS: CLICK HERE

U.S. Supreme Court rejects Christian preacher's challenge to universityWASHINGTON -The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a traveling Christian evangelist's free-speech challenge to a University of Alabama requirement that he obtain a permit before handing out religious pamphlets and preaching from a sidewalk adjacent to its campus. The justices turned away an appeal by preacher Rodney Keister of a lower court's ruling rejecting his claim that the university's permit requirement violated free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. Keister, founder of a Pennsylvania-based group called Evangelism Mission, regularly visits U.S. university campuses in hopes of spreading his Christian message to students, according to court filings.
