@independent_facts: 🚨JUST IN: The U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass a Republican-backed constitutional amendment on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, that would have permanently capped the number of Supreme Court justices at nine. The measure failed on a 212–206 vote. Because it was a proposed constitutional amendment brought under suspension of the rules, it required a two-thirds supermajority to pass, which it fell short of reaching. Nearly all Democrats voted against the resolution. Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina was the sole Democrat to cross party lines and vote in favor, while Rep. Kevin Kiley, an independent from California caucusing with Republicans, voted against it.
