US Congress Fails to Advance Amendment to Limit Supreme Court Size
The US House of Representatives did not advance a proposed constitutional amendment to limit the Supreme Court to nine justices, with a vote of 212 in favor and 206 against. The amendment's failure reflects ongoing debates about the court's size, particularly among Democrats who have suggested expanding it to counter a conservative majority. Historical context includes previous attempts to change the court's composition, with discussions intensifying ahead of the midterm elections.
