I fully support this bill to increase the number of Supreme Court justices from 9 to 13. It is important to ensure that our highest court is able to effectively handle the workload and make decisions that reflect the diversity of our country. This change could potentially lead to a more balanced and fair judicial system, which is something that I believe is necessary for the future of our democracy. I am excited to see how this legislation progresses and how it may impact the decisions made by the Supreme Court in the future.
