A group of Republican lawmakers has renewed efforts to prevent Democratic lawmakers from expanding the Supreme Court after a commission was created by President Joe Biden to study possible reforms to the nation’s top court.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), who is leading the effort, proposed a constitutional amendment on April 13 that would limit the number of Supreme Court justices to nine. Similar proposals were introduced last year by other Republican lawmakers.
