A proposed amendment to fix the size of the Supreme Court has been rejected. The measure aimed to set the number of justices at nine. Lawmakers voted on the issue, with a majority opposing the change.

Most Democrats were against it, indicating a willingness to consider expansion. A joint resolution had been introduced to amend the Constitution, specifying the composition of the Supreme Court. The vote was close, but ultimately did not meet the required threshold.

Further information on the vote and the reasoning behind it is available.
