Speaker Mike Johnson walked out Tuesday and did something Washington hates. He named the scheme. Then he scheduled a vote.
The House will take up a proposed constitutional amendment Wednesday to lock the Supreme Court at nine justices. Johnson is bringing it under suspension of the rules, which means Democrats cannot hide behind procedure. Two-thirds of the House has to say yes. Every member goes on the record.
We are going to bring a constitutional amendment. It is a bill to amend the U.S. Constitution to ensure that the U.S. Supreme Court remains composed of only 9 justices. We will keep the nine!
Then the line that actually matters.
We WILL have them put their money where their mouth is!
That is the point. Not a fantasy that 38 states ratify this by Friday. The point is forcing the party that spent five years screaming about a “stolen Court” to vote, in public, on whether the Court should stay a Court or become a rubber stamp they can inflate whenever they lose.
