Senator Ron Wyden proposes expanding the Supreme Court and adding safeguards, facing Republican opposition.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has introduced a bill to expand the Supreme Court from nine to 15 justices, aiming to restore public confidence amid ethical concerns and contentious rulings. The proposal requires a two-thirds majority to overturn federal laws, mandates financial audits for justices, and streamlines nomination processes. While ambitious, it faces significant opposition from Republicans, who view it as politically motivated.
