House Votes on Constitutional Amendment to Set Supreme Court Size at Nine
What happened
The House voted Wednesday on a proposed constitutional amendment that would set the Supreme Court's size at nine justices. The measure failed to receive the two-thirds majority required to advance a constitutional amendment. The Court has had nine justices since 1869.
How the coverage differs
Left outlets frame the vote as Republicans attempting to prevent reform, with Slate stating Johnson "made the case for expanding the Supreme Court" and Time describing it as a "Republican-led attempt" that "fell at the first hurdle."
No outlet in this band covered it.
Right outlets emphasize Democratic opposition to the measure, with The Daily Wire reporting "Dems Vote Down Amendment" and The Federalist stating "205 House Democrats Vote To Kill Anti-Court Packing Amendment," framing the proposal as preventing "court packing."
