To that former Utah Rep on CNN

Quit crying over changing the Supreme Court. The number has been changed in the past and there is no Constitutional number.

“Basically, the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to determine how many justices sit on SCOTUS. This number has ranged between 5 and 10, but since 1869 the number has been set at 9. And the number of justices on the Supreme Court has been politically manipulated over the years.”

The Party needs to weigh in as well as his advisors. Who haven’t been picked yet.
