- US House GOP attacks proposals to expand Supreme Court and counter conservative majority
U.S. House Republicans criticized proposals to expand the Supreme Court, which Democrats support to counter the court’s conservative majority following decisions like the Louisiana v. Callais ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act. Democrats have renewed calls for reforms, including expanding the number of justices, but no clear consensus exists, and any changes would face Senate filibuster and potential veto by President Donald Trump.
