BREAKING: House Fails To Secure 2/3 Vote—Radical Majority of Democrats Vote Against Passing Constitutional Amendment to Lock Supreme Court at Nine Justices

House Republicans brought a bill to the floor intended to limit the U.S. Supreme Court to nine justices, with Speaker Mike Johnson suggesting some Democrats would vote in favor. However, a majority of House Democrats voted against the measure, which required a two-thirds majority for a constitutional amendment. The article suggests this vote puts Democrats on record regarding their intentions to potentially expand the Court.

• The measure failed to pass, with a majority of House Democrats voting against it.
• The article suggests Democrats intend to ‘pack’ the Supreme Court if they gain power.
