WASHINGTON _ California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has not ruled out the possibility of expanding the Supreme Court if Republicans fill the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat before the November election, she said in an interview Monday.
Some Democrats are urging that path if President Donald Trump loses to Joe Biden in November, but manages to fill Ginsburg's seat. If Trump fills the seat, it would give conservatives a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court, shaping years of decisions from the high court.
Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the concept of adding seats to the nine-member Supreme Court was new to her.
