Will the US Supreme Court change its membership size before 2050?
Yes
Question description #
The US supreme court currently has a fixed size of 9 members, but it hasn't always been this way. It takes only an act of congress to change the size of the court. The president Franklin D. Roosevelt famously failed to increase the size of the court despite his party having a supermajority in congress.
