Well so much for that...
Dems kill Supreme Court constitutional amendment — keep DSA dream alive to abolish justiceshttps://nypost.com/2026/09/02/us-news/dems-kill-constitutional-amendment-to-prevent-supreme-court-packing/House Democrats voted down a proposed constitutional amendment to lock in the number of justices on the Supreme Court at nine.
The amendment failed in a 212-206 vote, far short of the two-thirds majority needed to get it through the lower chamber. Only one Democrat, Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina, voted with Republicans in support of the proposed amendment.
Republicans brought up the constitutional amendment as part of an effort to accuse Democrats of seeking to pack the high court due to its conservative majority and tie them to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
“We will have them put their money where their mouth is,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters ahead of the vote. “There’s a couple of Democrats here in the House who have suggested that they’re not on board with the Democratic Socialists of America. Just a few.”
EXCERPT
Pointless exercise.
