The resolution, introduced by McClintock, calls on the United States Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that would establish the Supreme Court of the United States as a body composed of nine justices. It emphasizes the importance of the Supreme Court's independence for maintaining the integrity of the constitutional system and expresses concern that any attempts to expand the number of justices for political reasons could destabilize the Court and erode public trust in the judiciary.
The resolution further instructs the Secretary of the Senate to send certified copies to key federal officials, including the President and congressional leaders, to ensure that the message is communicated effectively. The overarching goal is to safeguard the structure of the Supreme Court and prevent any future alterations that could compromise its function and authority.
