Sen. Jim Clyburn says Congress should expand the U.S. Supreme Court from nine justices to 13. Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he endorses the concept of court expansion and says 13 is “a pretty good number,” describing it as a “baker’s dozen.”
Clyburn’s comments come in response to a question about whether he agrees with former Vice President Kamala Harris’s call for Supreme Court expansion. Both outlets report that he frames the proposal around ensuring the Court follows the Constitution’s “underpinnings.” The coverage focuses primarily on his endorsement and the specific number, with no additional legislative details reported in the excerpts.
