Representative Green's Original Legislation to increase from 9 to 13 the number of justices of the Supreme Court.
This bill, proposed by Representative Al Green, aims to change the composition of the Supreme Court by increasing the number of justices from 9 to 13. This would significantly alter the balance and dynamics of the highest court in the land.
If passed, this bill would affect the Supreme Court justices, law clerks, and the broader judicial system. It could also impact the legislative process for appointing new justices and the types of cases the court handles. The change could affect how laws are interpreted and enforced across the country.
The bill was introduced on May 4, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review and potential amendments. As of now, no further actions have been recorded, and the bill is in its initial stages of the legislative process.
