## Resource

House Republicans narrowly failed to pass a constitutional amendment freezing the Supreme Court at nine justices, reigniting the fiery debate over court expansion. While Democrats like Rep. Jim Clyburn have floated adding four seats to tip the balance, GOP leaders see it as partisan overreach. With the Senate filibuster still standing — and no immediate path to reform — the battle hinges on next year’s elections and shifting Senate dynamics, especially without Sinema and Manchin to block change.
