Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas on Wednesday reintroduced a constitutional amendment to ensure the number of justices serving on the U.S. Supreme Court remains at nine.

“The Democrats’ answer to a Supreme Court that is dedicated to upholding the rule of law and the Constitution is to pack it with liberals who will rule the way they want,” Cruz said in an emailed statement.
