Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced an amendment that would cement the number of seats on the Supreme Court to nine, coming after some top Democrats have threatened to pack the nation’s highest court should Judge Amy Coney Barrett be confirmed.
“To prevent the delegitimizing of the Supreme Court, I am introducing a constitutional amendment to keep the number of seats at nine. Our institutions matter. Our Constitution matters. And we should fight to protect them,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) wrote in a statement.
