Such a shame that in 2019 SO many efforts need to be undertaken to protect quite a few amendments from sore losers. :rolleyes:

Marco Rubio Moves to Keep Nine Supreme Court Justices in the Constitution

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced an amendment to the Constitution Monday to limit the number of justices on the Supreme Court to nine, a move that a senior aide to the senator said has been in the back of Rubio’s mind since fall 2018.

Rubio’s move to preserve the court number came after Democrats in and outside of the 2020 presidential campaign said that they’d consider adding more justices to the nation’s highest court.

“I don’t think we should be laughing at it,” Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana said in February. “In some ways, it’s no more a shattering of norms than what’s already been done to get the judiciary to where it is today.”
