Proposal to increase US Supreme Court Justices to thirteen.
This bill proposes expanding the U.S. Supreme Court by increasing the number of Associate Justices from eight to twelve, resulting in a total of thirteen Justices. This structural change to the nation's highest court could significantly influence future rulings on constitutional rights, civil liberties, and major legal issues affecting citizens' daily lives. The required quorum for the Court to conduct business would also increase from six to eight Justices.
