Court

WHEREAS,
the
House
of
Representatives
strongly
4
endorses
the
principle
that
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
5
United
States
should
be
composed
of
nine
justices;
and
6
WHEREAS,
the
House
of

expressly
7
rejects
efforts
to
“pack
the
court”;
and
8
WHEREAS,
the
House
of
Representatives
recognizes
the
9
millions
of
Iowans
who
support
an
independent
Supreme
10
Court
free
from
the
partisan
influences
of
the
United
11
States
Congress;
and
12
WHEREAS,
the
House
of
Representatives
believes
that
13
any
plans
to
increase
the
number
of
justices
on
the
14
Supreme
Court
are
shortsighted,
dishonest,
and
will
15
ultimately
undermine
the
credibility
of
the
Supreme
16
Court;
NOW
THEREFORE,
17
BE
IT
RESOLVED
BY
THE
HOUSE
OF
REPRESENTATIVES,
That

the
House
of
Representatives
urges
