House Dems Block Republican Bill Aimed At Halting Expansion of Supreme Court

Most Democrats were upset by several U.S. Supreme Court decisions during its last session, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the expansion of individual gun rights regarding a restrictive New York concealed carry law.

Following those decisions, several Democrats once again floated the idea of expanding the number of high court justices to offset the current conservative majority responsible for those decisions.

In response, Republicans this week introduced a measure in the House that would codify in the Constitution the current number of justices, but Democrats used their slim majority in the chamber to block the effort, The Daily Wire reported.
