Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Tuesday wrote a letter to Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), urging them to reject the House Democrat proposal to expand the Supreme Court from nine to 13 seats.

Brnovich said in his letter (pdf) that efforts to expand the nation’s top court would be “nothing less than a direct assault on judicial independence.”
