In a historic departure from tradition, a groundswell of voices is advocating for a significant overhaul of the United States Supreme Court—a move that involves expanding the highest judicial body from its current nine justices to thirteen. The proposition has ignited a vigorous national debate, with proponents asserting not only the constitutional validity of such an expansion but also grounding their arguments in a historical context that aligns with the evolving needs of a dynamic society. The landscape of the United States Supreme Court has remained steadfast with nine justices since 1869. However, the call for expansion contends that this…
