I think you’re probably right as it looks to be something involving the Judiciary Act of 1869 but I’ve also heard that only the senate is needed to do this even today.
Obviously not a lawyer and ultimately it could have been done by Dems prior to the midterms so they would still be responsible for not packing the court earlier.
I’m still not sure they had that option. It was something mentioned in various campaign platforms, and dems are very upset about current events with it. We might see some movement prior to elections? Not sure.
I’m fairly sure they would need the house to expand the court and add more justices.

Maybe they will? I would like to see improvements to so many things but ultimately I am very doubtful anything meaningful will happen.
