GRAHAM:I can't think of a more destabilizing event for America than changing the number of [justices] on the Supreme Court every election cycle because it becomes a winner take all for the Court.https://youtu.be/MELWwCHme9M?t=4 GRAHAM:I just want to urge all of my colleagues to support Senator Rubio's efforts to solidify that we're sticking with nine. Nine has served us well.https://youtu.be/MELWwCHme9M?t=37 GRAHAM:The traditional debate has been who fills vacancies: liberal or conservative. It's never been about how many will you have. And you'll eventually destroy the judiciary as we know it.https://youtu.be/MELWwCHme9M?t=18 GRAHAM:So, a word of warning here. If you think [Democrats] are kidding [about packing the Court], you're making a mistake. I'd hate to be the Senator that said no I don't want to pack the Court, on the Democratic side. Because if you think it was bad for Senator Feinstein your world would come to an end politically.https://youtu.be/MELWwCHme9M?t=121 GRAHAM: We need to get the fever to break. The best way for the fever to break is for the country to make the decision to put in the Constitution: Nine is the right number.https://youtu.be/MELWwCHme9M?t=140 Click to watch Graham's remarks 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
