The Constitution never says nine. Congress set the number and has moved it before, and it has stayed at nine since 1869 on nothing but restraint. This week the House had one chance to write nine into the Constitution and take court packing off the table for both parties, and 205 Democrats voted to keep it on the table while Jim Clyburn calls 13 justices a baker's dozen. The day before, the same House voted 220 to 192 to condemn socialism and call for the SAVE America Act, and within a day the socialists answered a vote of Congress with a membership drive.
Jenny Beth Martin opens the show. Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action, hosts the rest of the hour with Justine Brooke Murray of the Media Research Center and Catherine Whiteford, National Co-Chairwoman of the Young Republican National Federation.
