"A group of Republican senators advanced two proposals Monday, including a Constitutional amendment, to prevent court packing, which Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has portrayed as a near certainty if Democrats take power in November.
"The first proposal would amend the U.S. Constitution by explicitly limiting the number of Supreme Court justices to nine. Another would create a point of order blocking legislation that expands the number of justices.
"'Make no mistake, if Democrats win the election, they will end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court, expanding the number of justices to advance their radical political agenda, entrenching their power for generations, and destroying the foundations of our democratic system,' Cruz said in a press release on Monday.
"In addition to Cruz, the proposal was sponsored by Sens. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Martha McSally, R-Ariz."
